About

Welcome to the Waimānalo Public and School Library! Designed by Ernest H. Hara and Associates, our library  opened on Feb. 25, 1978. We are located on the campus of Waimānalo Elementary and Intermediate School. More than half of Waimānalo ‘s current residents and library patrons are of Hawaiian or part-Hawaiian descent.


Upcoming events at this branch

Drawing of orange yellow and pink hibiscus flowers

This free 45-minute workshop provides participants with information, practical tools, and a safe space to discuss the often-overlooked steps in preparing for the future. Participants will receive a Waimanalo Library Wellness Kit for attending a program in our Waimanalo Wellness program series, while supplies last.

This program is sponsored by Aloha Mortuary.
