Kahuku Public and School Library
About
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.”

The Poisonwood Bible by Barbara Kingsolver
“Powerful . . . [Kingsolver] has with infinitely steady hands worked the prickly threads of religion, politics, race, sin and redemption into a thing of terrible beauty.” —Los Angeles Times Book Review
“The Poisonwood Bible, now celebrating its 25th anniversary, established Barbara Kingsolver as one of the most thoughtful and daring of modern writers. Taking its place alongside the classic works of postcolonial literature, it is a suspenseful epic of one family’s tragic undoing and remarkable reconstruction over the course of three decades in Africa.”- HarperCollins Publishing
Additional copies of the novel will be available at Kahuku Public and School Library.
A list of the 2026 titles is available upon request. Please attend a meeting and inquire with facilitator.
Recommended for ages 18 and over.
