Hawaii State
Public Library System

The Wahiawā Public Library’s last day of service in its current facility will be Saturday, May 3, 2025. The 60-year-old branch will be replaced by a new library as part of the civic center development. Construction is expected to begin in June.

On May 3 from 9 a.m. to noon, Wahiawā residents are invited to visit and say Aloha to the existing library building:

• Share a favorite memory on a memory wall.
• Take selfies in front of photo banners featuring the Wahiawā Library: Past, Present and Future.
• Come dressed as your favorite comic book character and pick up a free comic in celebration of Free Comic Book Day.

Special tributes commemorating the library’s 60 years of community service begins at 11 a.m. featuring area legislators and guests.

Holds and reserves must be picked up at the branch by 4 p.m. on May 3. After the branch closes, patrons are asked to return borrowed materials to other public libraries until a temporary Wahiawā Public Library is opened in June 2025.

During the anticipated two-year construction period, the Hawai‘i State Public Library System plans to open a temporary library location in the Wahiawā Shopping Center (823 California Avenue). An announcement on the opening date of the temporary location will be made in the future.
