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

Children Reading Under Tree

Grow your reading skills and let your imagination bloom!  From March 13 – April 01, children from babies through 12 years old can earn prizes – just by reading!  Children may earn incentives for reading by logging titles for weekly prizes and tracking minutes spent reading to earn bonus prizes.  Bonus prizes will be awarded to children who read 5, 10, and up to 15 hours during this 3-week program.  Prizes may vary while supplies last.  Children may enter or claim their prizes anytime during library open hours.  See staff at the Children’s Reference Desk for details.

Parents are encouraged to read to their children who can’t or need help reading.

Please note:  this Spring Reading Program is unique to Kapolei Public Library and does not utilize the online Beanstack program.

This program is sponsored by the Friends of the Library Kapolei.
