About

Welcome to the Hanapepe Public Library! Designed by architects Guy N. Rothwell and Edmund Abrams, our library opened on Feb. 9, 1950. Our library celebrated 60 years of service and dedicated its new auditorium on Mar. 11, 2010. A photo-voltaic solar system installed in 2011 helps our library and HSPLS save money on utility bills.

Join author Sasha Lee for a guest reading event of her children’s book, The Hanapēpē Hero. She will also have activities for the keiki that attend.

Set in the small Hawaiian town of Hanapēpē, a young boy, Ron, worries that he isn’t skilled enough to find the perfect gift for his mother’s birthday. However, his thoughtfulness leads him to set out on a journey and his discoveries will serve as a gift to the entire town.

This event will appeal to families with 2-7 year olds.
