Mililani Public Library

About

Welcome to the Mililani Public Library! Located on the red plains of Central Oʻahu, our library opened on Oct. 27, 1984 on land donated by Mililani Town, Inc. Our library has a quiet room for study and reference work. Our library’s three most attractive features are the murals designed by the late international master artist Hon-Chew Hee: two are carved in red Indian granite and depict The Golden Days of Hawaii, and the largest mural – The Poi Bowl – is carved in green Taiwanese marble.

Local Unrest – Author Talk & Musical Performance
Cover of book Local Unrest by Shawn 'Speedy' Lopes

Join local author Shawn “Speedy” Lopes and special guests as he discusses his new book Local Unrest: The Extraordinary True Story of the Birth and Rise of Hawaiian Punk, Indie and Underground Rock. Hawaii indie music icon Peter Bond will be providing an acoustic set during the festivities, and copies of this groundbreaking book will be for sale! 

Honolulu Magazine calls Local Unrest, “a real-life story of a most unusual, colorful, and dynamic underground music scene.” Hawaii Public Radio calls it “a far-ranging oral history” that takes fans into the “most isolated and overlooked music scene in America.”  

Sponsored by the Friends of Mililani Public Library.

Book Club Gathering
Cover of the novel Maame by Jessica George

The Mililani Public Library Book Club meets the first Monday of every month (barring Monday holidays) from 5:30-6:30pm in our Library Program Room. On Monday, September 14th we’ll be reading and discussing Maame by Jessica George.

Of this novel, the New York Times said, “George shows the details and scope of life with such confidence and joie de vivre, it’s easy to forget she’s a first-time novelist.” Kirkus Reviews calls it, “A fresh, often funny, always poignant take on the coming-of-age novel.”
