About

Welcome to the ʻEwa Beach Public & School Library! Designed by Robert M. Matsushita and Associates, Inc., our library opened on Aug. 28, 1971 on the James Campbell High School campus. Laptop computers were installed in 2012 to create the first computer lab in the Library System. Our atrium features “Pupu Aʻo Ewa,” a distinctive copper and bronze sculpture by the late Bumpei Akaji.


Upcoming events at this branch

Musical chairs in a circle

Get ready for a musical game of elimination.

Players move around chairs while music plays, and when the music stops, they must sit. The player left standing is out, and a chair is removed. The game continues until only one player remains. Prizes will be awarded.

Recommended for ages 5 and up. Young children must be accompanied by an adult.

Anyone who requires an auxiliary aid or service for effective communication, or a modification of policies or procedures to participate in a program, service, or activity should contact library staff as soon as possible. Advance requests 48 hours or more before the event are encouraged, but not required. All programs are subject to change.

This free program encourages you to read 1,000 books with your child before he or she enters Kindergarten. One of the best ways to encourage learning is to spend time sharing books every day. Reading together helps develop important pre-reading skills that provide a solid reading foundation – a key to school and learning success. Plus, sharing stories together is fun!

Stop by Ewa Beach Library to enroll and pick up your reading log. Return to the branch after each hundred books read for a sticker and your next recording sheet.

Happy Reading!

This free, 10-week community-based program is designed to help families learn how to increase conversations with their children during the first few years of their life.  Each week families will gather to learn together, share ideas, and practice new strategies in a safe environment to build confidence in helping your little ones with early language and literacy skills.

LENA Start uses a “talk pedometer” also known as a small wearable device that is combined with cloud-based software to measure your child’s language environment.
