Welcome to the Kahuku Public & School Library! Designed by architect Dennis Toyomura, our library opened on Nov. 25, 1968 on Kahuku High and Intermediate School campus on O‘ahu’s North Shore. Our library serves students, faculty, residents of Kahuku, Ka‘a‘awa, Lā‘ie, Hau‘ula, Sunset Beach, and “snowbirds” during winter. There is a real sense of community at our library where some patrons have come “full-circle.”

AN INDIE NEXT PICK!
“From the #1 bestselling author in Japan comes a celebration of books, cats, and the people who love them.
“Bookish high school student Rintaro Natsuki is about to close the secondhand bookstore he inherited from his beloved bookworm grandfather. Then, a talking cat appears with an unusual request. The feline asks for—or rather, demands—the teenager’s help in saving books with him. The world is full of lonely books left unread and unloved, and the cat and Rintaro must liberate them from their neglectful owners.” – HarperCollins publisher website
