Welcome to the Līhuʻe Public Library! We are the largest library on Kauaʻi, located in central Līhuʻe within walking distance of many State and County buildings. Designed by architect Stephen Oyakawa, our 22,300 sq. ft. building is distinguished by its arc-shaped roof and lava rock walls. We serve as the regional library and Federal Depository for Kauaʻi. In 2013, our library underwent extensive ADA renovations with facility upgrades and improvements.


Join us for a welcoming social gathering, cafe style, for anyone living with changes in their memory and the people who care about them. Memory cafes are based on a national model to encourage meaningful connections between all people. Come alone if you can or bring a supportive care partner if you have one. Volunteers are welcome to help assist by contacting Jewish Community Services of Hawai’i!
RSVP Required and to connect about volunteering, contact Dale at
Dale@jcs-hi.org or visit RSVP for Plumeria Memory Cafe

Calling all upper elementary and middle school LEGO builders and burgeoning engineers!
Join us at the library for Lihue LEGO Club, where exciting building challenges using LEGO blocks await. Opening ceremonies start at 4pm, sharp.

This event is recommended for children ages 6-12.

We have so many board and card games at the library!
Bring your friends, family, or just come alone to join others in playing board games at the library on selection in front of the circulation desk at Lihue Library.
Board games can be fun and stress-relieving, unless you’re like us and turn the tables over when you start to lose. Kidding! We are all good sports here at the library. Come play your favorites or discover a fun, new game.
Also available is the community puzzle located on the large, wooden table in the Hawaiian and Pacific reading section of the library. Bring your puzzle skills and assist in completing our community puzzle so that we may frame it and add it to the wall.
