About
Welcome to the Lihue Public Library! We are the largest library on Kauai, located in central Lihue 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 Kauai. In 2013, our library underwent extensive ADA renovations with facility upgrades and improvements.

Children’s Book Authors Mackenzie Joy and Tony Piedra (Mak and Tea) will be at Lihue Library on Monday, September 23, 2024 at 5:000 pm to talk about and read their book about the ʻōʻō, an extinct Hawaiian forest bird. The last recorded song of the bird was made in 1987 on Kauaʻi. The authors collaborated with the Kauaʻi Forest Bird Recovery Project in the writing of this book. Members of the Hawaiian Forest Bird Recovery Project will be on hand with takeaways and information about the project. This event is free and open to all ages.
