The Lanai Public and School Library is an authorized Passport Acceptance Facility. Learn about passport processing hours and requirements.
Welcome to the Lanai Public and School Library! Designed by architect Edwin T. Murayama, our library opened its doors to the public on Oct. 15, 1975. Our public and school library is the seventh such facility in the state and the first in Maui county. Our library is the only place on the island that provides free Internet access and Wi-Fi for library card holders.
The Lanai Public and School Library participates in ʻOhana Readers, a literacy program that focuses on reading with family as an affiliate program of Dolly Partonʻs Imagination Library. The program offers high-quality, age-appropriate Imagination Library books each month to children who are under the age of five. Dolly Partonʻs Imagination Library program is a zip code based mailing program. Families must live in the Lanai zip code (96763) to participate.
To register, download the registration form or visit the branch. You may return the form by mail or drop it off at the branch. The participating library will also offer programs that complement the books the children receive, and will provide other activities to promote literacy and reading.
For more information, visit the ‘Ohana Readers website.
Story time is a wonderful way to explore the world of books with stories and music. Join us as we share very simple books and songs weekly with our youngest library visitors and caregivers.
We hope to see you here.

Join visiting teaching artists from Hui No’eau Visual Art Center on Maui, for a fun & unique arts experience.
Instead of throwing away all of our rubbish, let’s give some of it a new life! Celebrate Earth Day this month by turning everyday items into a work of art! Participants will create a scene depicting their favorite part about living on planet Earth with found objects. Participants are encouraged to bring found objects such as bottlecaps, egg cartons, zippers, yarn, corks, old keys, CDs, and other small objects from around the house. Please make sure found materials are cleaned prior to class. One man’s trash is another man’s treasure!
Come get creative, during this free event!
All ages welcome.
