Need a moment to catch your breath? Looking to escape the heat? Come on down to Kihei Public Library on the second Saturday of the month, where you can relax and grab some new books to read while we put a family-friendly film up on the big screen. This month we’re showing the timeless 80s fantasy classic “Labyrinth,” starring 80’s icons Jennifer Connelly and David Bowie, and a bunch of quality work from Jim Henson. See you then!

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.

Battleship, Uno, Dungeons & Dragons, and more – come on over to Kīhei on the last Tuesday of the month (edit: its a week early this month, surprise!), and bring your game faces!

We’ll provide games and toys for all ages – but it does help if you’re old enough to not eat the dice. 🙂 There are puzzles too! No video games, though – we’re sticking with analog.
