About
Welcome to the Princeville Public Library! Designed by Kauai-born architect Maurice Yamasato of Yamasato, Fujiwara, Aoki & Associates, our library opened on Apr. 14, 1999. Princeville Corp., in partnership with the State and County, provided land to build the library. We are the 6th public library to open on the Garden Island.
The Princeville Public Library completed building renovations and reopened on June 14, 2025. The renovation project included replacing the air conditioning, repainting, re-flooring, and making structural improvements to both the interior and exterior of the building.
The Princeville 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 Kauai zip codes to participate.
