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.


Upcoming events at this branch

Children's Storytime

Mililani High School Drama Club presents Storybook Theatre: “Spring Fairy Tales.”  Simple make and take crafts (while supplies last), will be followed by storytelling. This program is recommended for children ages preschool to 3rd Grade and their families.

Legacies of Incarceration book cover

Join us for a fascinating talk by Dr. Kelli Nakamura on Saturday, March 7th from 2pm-3pm. Dr. Nakamura is a History Professor at Kapiolani Community College and author of the recently re-published Legacies of Incarceration: The World War II Experiences of Hawaii’s Japanese.

Although a lot of research and personal accounts from mainland internment camps such as Manzanar have been published, less is known about the stories of Hawaii’s own internment camps and the internees they held. Coinciding with the upcoming anniversary of the most infamous of these local camps, Honouliuli, being named a national historic site, Dr. Nakamura’s talk will highlight research from her book, a work that finally sheds a light on Hawaii’s own role in this tragic chapter of our nation’s history.
