About
Welcome to the Kapolei Public Library! Built on land provided to the state in trust by Campbell Estate, our library opened in August 2004. With more than 48,000 registered patrons and visitors, we often have the highest circulation figures among Oahu libraries. One of our most popular programs is Halloween “Fright Night” on Oct. 31!
Upcoming events at this branch
- August 13, 2025 @ 10:00 am - 4:00 pm
- Categories: Books, Learning, Reading programs
- Contact: 808-693-7050
Parents and caregivers are the first education providers during the 0-5 early critical years. The 1000 Books Before Kindergarten challenge is a simple and fun program that promotes reading to newborns, infants, and toddlers and encourages parent and child bonding through reading. This challenge is a simple, yet fun approach to establishing strong early literacy skills and helps young children gain the confidence necessary to become strong readers.
The concept is simple: read a book, any book to your child, with the goal of reading 1,000 before kindergarten. Each participant will receive a special passport and may have their passports “stamped” for each 100 books read.
Pick up your packet when you register at our Children’s Reference Desk. Registration will start on Saturday, September 07, 2024.
This program is sponsored by the Friends of the Library Kapolei.
