Lihue Public Library

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.


Upcoming events at this branch

Stamped Canvas Tote Bags

We’ll show you how to create a stamped tote bag using a few things you may not have thought were crafting materials. Like, did you ever think you could make your own stamps using potatoes? This craft will take place on Wednesdays, April 9, 16, and 23, from 2:30pm to 6:30pm. We provide the canvas bags, potatoes, a few pre-made stamps and fabric markers. Make your personality shine on your very own tote bag, perfect for checking-out and carrying books! Did we mention it’s National Library Week?!

Anyone who requires an auxiliary aid or service for effective communication, or a modification of policies or procedures to participate in a program, service or activity should contact library staff as soon as possible. Advance requests 48 hours or more before the event are encouraged, but not required. All programs are subject to change.
