The Kaneohe Public Library shares the same steep and potholed driveway as the Kaneohe Police…read moreStation and a park that has no name! My friend's daughter played soccer at that park, and called it "Civic Field". The park isn't even on Google maps, but it has a small restroom that I'm afraid to use because of the homeless people that are hanging around. Anyway, some things are not under our control. I just want to warn library patrons about the environment. Yesterday, a guy was swearing - I think at the police next door - while a small group of characters loitered outside the park's restroom; and an "auntie" sat in the far corner of the new parking lot with her shopping wagon, covered with a blue tarp. During another visit, there were some bodies, covered in blankets and sleeping bags, lying on the landing between the stairs from the parking lot to the library. Instead of hopping over them, I walked up the steep driveway, not wanting to wake them up... It's kinda spooky and makes me not want to stay at the library for a long period of time, especially if the sun is going down... I just run in, pick up a DVD that I had reserved online, and leave as soon as possible. It's sad, but what can be done? It is a really nice area... The library has great facilities, free wi-fi, $1 movie rentals for a whole week, and other outstanding resources like Storytelling hour for the keiki. The librarians are so patient and helpful! The restroom is clean and functional, even though the building is old and could use a facelift. There's even a Friends of the Library bookstore at the parking lot level! HOURS OF OPERATION: Open 10 am - 5pm on Sunday, Tuesday & Thursday; 10am - 8pm on Monday & Wednesday, 1pm - 5pm on Fridays Closed on Saturdays and State Holidays I will still continue to support our local library - just have to stay on alert mode! Mahalo!

Reads in the Red I…read moredidnt know this place existed, and didnt know what the red building was until I approached this place after I was in the area. Is the building red because of the red dirt? If so thats is pretty thorough planning. This library is small but contained troves of books and novelties. There is also computers there so its a nice balance between the old and new. I haven't been to a library in awhile and from I saw, it was only very young kids in there and older people. I guess all the people in between dont have a use for the library as much as before, but its nice to walk into one as if traversing the annals of history. Please stay, we still need you.

Small, but nice, neighborhood library in Wahiawa…read more I love libraries and love to patronize them. In my opinion, they are a great community resource that is often underutilized and under appreciated. We live in town, but have been to this library a few times because they were cohosting (with Aloha Adventurers Guild) Dungeons and Dragons sessions and our daughters wanted to participate. The games/sessions were held in a fairly large conference room off the main library. Inside the library, there was also a display of DND related books and graphic novels which was a nice connection. My daughters wound up picking up and reading a few. Great community partnership. Ample parking. Clean and organized. Clean bathrooms (VERY important for my wife). Pleasant staff.

Next time I'm there I'll take more pics and post! See you on Yelp!

They have monthly craft events, movie nights and more! We especially love Wednesday story time. There's lots of space for little ones with singing, dancing, a craft and of course book reading. Every 1st Wednesday they have puzzles and STEM toys out for little ones to play. Lastly, for older kids and adults, they offer all kinds of reading challenges some through logging books manually, some through the Beanstack app. Currently, during the Olympics, they have a reading challenge where you earn medals! They also have another challenge where you log books to earn prizes. Most recently, we participated in therapets event where you could read to a therapy dog. My daughter loved petting all the dogs and getting to know them! Overall, we absolutely love learning, reading, and playing at the library! Overall, we love learning, reading, and playing here!

I just had to fill out the application. I finally got a card after almost three years of living here lol It's definitely worth it because I can check out books, DVDs, and pretty much anything they offer in the library. I know it's old school but us older generation still comes to the library to read books. I enjoy a wide variety of books including mystery and suspense. I like books that keep me reading. Plenty of parking right up front and the restrooms are right near the entrance/exit. I would come back over and over to see what interesting books are available.
