Welcome to the Pāhoa Public and School Library! Our library opened on Sept. 3, 1967. We’re located on the campus of Pāhoa High and Elementary School and serve residents and students from two area schools. Recently, we were an important hub after being hit by a hurricane and lava flows approached from Kīlauea volcano.
