About
Welcome to the Keaʻau Public & School Library! Designed by Matsunaga, Sako, and Associates/Architects, Inc., we’re located on Keaʻau Middle School campus, and opened on Sept. 30, 1974. In 2014, we offered temporary free 24/7 Wi-Fi to Puna residents during June 27th lava flow and Hurricane Iselle’s devastation. Our library celebrated its 40th Anniversary on Nov. 25, 2014.
The Keaʻau Public and School Library is an authorized Passport Acceptance Facility. Learn about passport processing hours and requirements. Passport services will be temporarily suspended from June 1 through August 1, 2026 in support of the Summer Reading Challenge. The library will resume service on August 4th with the same acceptance hours.
