Welcome to the Kailua Public Library! Designed by the architectural firm of Lemmon, Freeth, Maines and Jones, our library opened on Dec. 28, 1960. Best known for our “Reading Tree” in the Children’s Room, it provides an aesthetically-pleasing backdrop for storytimes and special events. In back of our library is a beautiful courtyard with seating for patrons to read or chat with friends
Due to the repaving of the Library’s parking lot, the July 16th Keiki Storytime has been cancelled. We apologize for the inconvenience.
Experience a soulful mele of jazz as Dean Taba, Noel Okimoto, Rafael Borges Amaral, and Allen Won come together to deliver an evening filled with captivating melodies and vibrant rhythms. This free event is suitable for all ages.
