Welcome to the Molokaʻi Public Library! Designed by architect Harry K. Stewart, our library opened on May 21, 1937. It is a 3,627 sq. ft. library located in central Kaunakakai and serves as a hub for many community activities.
The Molokaʻi Public Library participates in ʻOhana Readers, a literacy program that focuses on reading with family as an affiliate program of Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library. The program offers high-quality, age-appropriate Imagination Library books each month to children who are under the age of five.
Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library program is a ZIP code based mailing program. Families must live in these specific Molokai ZIP codes to participate.
To register, click your ZIP code to download the registration form or visit the branch. You may return the form by mail or drop it off at the branch. The participating library will also offer programs that complement the books the children receive, and will provide other activities to promote literacy and reading.
For more information, visit the ‘Ohana Readers website.

Join an interactive discussion exploring the shift this defining global catastrophe offers 25 years later.
