About

Welcome to the McCully-Mōʻiliʻili Public Library! Designed by architect Robert Matsushita, our two-story library opened on Nov. 22, 1969. Our library features an auditorium and a carpeted storytelling well. In addition, the Korean Library Foundation, a non-profit organization founded by Sook Ki and Eugene Moon in 1997, is located on the 2nd floor, where it maintains the largest Korean language collection in the library system.
