About

Welcome to the Ewa 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

Zentangle Art

Zentangle is a type of abstract drawing that involves creating intricate patterns to help people relax and find inner peace. The word Zentangle comes from the words “zen” and “tangle”, and the practice is based on the Buddhist meditative philosophy of balancing the mind. Find your inner peace through coloring a zentangle tile. Materials will be provided.

Recommended for teens and up.
