Hawaii State
Public Library System

ALERT | Effective October 1, 2022, access to the Library for the Blind and Print Disabled will be available only to individuals registered with the Library of Congress National Library Service for the Blind and Print Disabled. LBPD was established as a network library for the National Library Service in 1931, and continues in its core mission to provide library services and materials to those who are blind, visually impaired or print disabled for the people of Hawaii.

This change is necessary for the limited LBPD staff to focus on supporting their primary patrons and ensuring that they have access to reading materials and resources that support their needs.

All Hawaii State Public Library System (HSPLS) libraries offer free public library services (such as free wifi and public computers), as well as access to large type materials. The collection of large type materials at the Waikiki-Kapahulu Public Library has been increased. Additionally, large type materials may be requested for transfer to your nearest public library for your convenience.
