With more than 22,000 registered patrons, we have the second highest circulation figures in Maui County. A traditional Hawaiian fishing shrine featured on the South Maui Heritage Trail is located outside the library.

random assortment of legos

Every third Saturday of the month, join us at 2:00 for LEGO Building Time!  Keiki and their ‘ohana are invited to come down to Kīhei Library to play and be creative with other Lego fans.

Legos will be provided. There will be a suggested building theme, but you are free to let your imagination be your guide! Creations will be placed up in a public display case for everyone to admire, until the next Lego event. Creations should be able to fit within an 8 1/2″ x 11″ space so that there will be room for everyone’s creations in the display case.
