Waipahu Public Library
About
Welcome to the Waipahu Public Library! Library services in Waipahu began as early as 1952 with a library on Farrington Highway. Our current library opened at a new facility located next to the Waipahu Civic Center on Mar. 18, 1996. Designed by Mitsunaga and Associates, our library features Oahu’s only drive-thru window and exclusive reading room for teens.
The Library’s drive-thru window conveniently allows patrons to pick up holds and return books. The entrance to the drive-thru window is located on Mokuola Street.
There are 10 free parking spots in front of the library, which have meters. The non metered parking spots have a pay station in the Waipahu Civic Center. Parking is FREE on Saturdays.

Advance care planning allows you to have a say in your care and allows you to talk to the people who matter most about the care you want to receive if you become seriously ill or unable to make your own decisions. During this informational presentation you can start completing an Advance Health Care Directive (AHCD) with a medical professional. The presentation will highlight the difference between an AHCD and the Provider Orders for Life-Sustaining Treatment (POLST). Bring your loved ones with you so they know what your wishes are. Visit KokuaMau.org to review and download a copy of Hawai’i AHCD prior to attending the event. A notary will be present if you choose to complete the AHCD form after the presentation.
