Due to the current construction of the new Naalehu Public Library and the small temporary space, Naalehu will continue to only offer Library Take Out.

Library Expansion Project

The Naalehu Public Library reopened on October 3, 2019 in a temporary location in the Naalehu State Office Building as part of the long-awaited Naalehu Public Library expansion project.

The Naalehu Public Library expansion project is a partnership between the Hawaii State Public Library System, the Friends of the Library of Hawaii, and the United States Department of Agriculture that provided grant funding to expand the building. Expected to take a year to complete, the new library will be triple the size of the current library.

Naalehu Public Library will continue the same public service schedule, except on Hawaii County Council Committee and Council Meeting days when available services may be adjusted to accommodate Council sessions.

ALERT | Mountain View Public & School Library will close on Friday, July 2 from 12:00 to 4:00 p.m. due to a staff shortage. We apologize to our library patrons for this inconvenience.

Liliha Public Library reopened on Tuesday, June 22, 2021 after completing extensive repairs and renovations.

Originally opened on December 12, 1966, the Liliha Public Library needed major repairs and updates. The extensive work included: fixing structural issues; ground stabilization; resurfacing the roof-top parking lot; fixing skylights and installing new light fixtures; fixing plumbing and sewer lines; air conditioning improvements; renovating restrooms for ADA accessibility; refurbishing staff work areas; interior painting and new flooring; and new landscaping. Along with new shelving, furniture and signage, a special room has been created for the library’s Chinese Language Collection.

In keeping with current COVID-19 protocols, the branch will allow a limited capacity of 40 patrons in at a time. The community is invited to come for a quick browse and borrow, to use free wi-fi or public computers, and to see the newly-renovated space. The library plans to host a celebration for the community at a later date when it is safer to host large gatherings.
