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.

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. Literally, we open the display case to fill it with our creations and put them on display all month long. At least until next Lego Club, when you get to do it all over again!
This event is recommended for children ages 6-12.
See you there!
