About
Welcome to the Kealakekua Public Library! Designed by architect Howard Redfearn, our library opened on Oct. 14, 1950. The original portion of our library was built with native lava rock and ʻōhiʻa logs. Located in West Hawaii, our library serves residents from Keauhou-Kona to Ocean View in the Ka‘u District.
