Welcome to the Kailua-Kona Public Library! Designed by architect George Iwasaki, our library opened on a leap day – Feb. 29, 1992. It is the second largest and second busiest library on Hawaii Island. We have a drive-through bookdrop and won an exemplary architectural design award from the Commission on Persons with Disabilities.
Join us at the Kailua-Kona Library to design and build awesome LEGO models! Participants will learn about architecture, create designs, and model the structures of their imagination. Participants will also engage in larger themed projects. This program will be taught by Architect and local business owner Maziyar Rajaei, D.Arch.
Suitable for grades 7-12, space is limited. RSVP by calling the library at 808-327-4327 and ask for the Young Adult librarian, Stacy.
