Welcome to the Salt Lake-Moanalua Public Library! A former storefront library across the street, our current library opened on Aug. 29, 1992. Our two-story building houses some of the library system’s administrative and support office staff. It features beautiful murals of historic Salt Lake and Moanalua during ancient Hawaiian times by renowned local artist Patrick Ching.
As of July 2025, parking is limited due to construction in the library’s parking area.

For those 3 years of age and older. We will move, sing, stretch, breathe and read. Join us in songs filled with yoga poses as well as breathing exercises. All kids must be accompanied by an adult. Please bring a towel or yoga mat for anyone participating.
