Welcome to the Waikiki-Kapahulu Public Library! Designed by Cyril Lemmon and Associates, we opened on July 11, 1952, at the Diamond Head end of the Ala Wai Canal. Known for its cathedral-like windows, our library serves “snow birds” during the winter from the mainland, Canada, and other visitors worldwide.
We love LEGO! Join us and build something for us to display around the library.
LEGOs will be out all day long for our building hands.
We also have a box of Duplo for little hands, ages 1.5+
Fun for ALL ages!
