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!

The campus is beautiful. With beautiful trees, and the lawns are perfectly nice. And it's right next to the courthouse. There are feral chickens on the property. Walking around everywhere.

Each public library location had a specific date and time set up for this event. We've never experienced a "Santa Claus Story Time" before and it was really fun and different from the norm.

Besides getting information, reading can increase your empathy, decrease your stress level, and improve your intelligence and brain functioning! That's why I fully support the Friends of the Kaneohe Library! Volunteers maintain the bookstore and donate items (like calendars, notepads, plushies, and knick knacks) to sell to the public at a reasonable price! Everything is categorized and labelled well. The free items are outside the shop and the Children's section is inside the second room. Remember to look at the Hawaiiana and discounted books. There are also videos, records, and games for sale! This is an amazing treasure chest! Come to Kaneohe Library now! The Friends of the Kaneohe Library's bookstore is on the ground level next to the free parking lot. Staff are so helpful and friendly - the cashier gave me a bookmarker even though I didn't buy anything this visit!

Library services in Honolulu, Hawaii…read more.. Since I signed up for our local Summer Reading Program (June 1 to July 31, 2026), I thought that I should look for a good book or two to read. I think I used to visit Liliha Library with my mom and three sisters. I should ask them - because I'm sure that we went to the main library by 'Iolani Palace. I'm not sure about Liliha Library. Parking here is much better than at the main Library. Just drive up the ramp and park on the upper level for free, then walk down the stairs. There are a couple of ADA stalls on the ground floor, at the entrance. The interior has been nicely renovated. It's spacious, clean, and bright. I really liked the Chinese area and noticed that there are Chinese decorations on some of the signs - like the ones for the restrooms! Service was very helpful and efficient. I was asked if I needed help. I said that I was looking for the Hawaiian word of the week. It's part of the activities os the Summer Reading Program. The librarian pointed to a table and walked me over. Ooh... Besides the word of the week, there was a BINGO card for extra prizes and entries into the drawing for the trip on Alaska/Hawaiian Airlines! Yay! For sure, I'll be back for the next word of the week and maybe one of the free classes. One of the BINGO activities is to attend a program at the library, so... I'll return soon!

They had a ton of literature books at every single book and cranny of this store and it was substantial. I saw an old Aesop Fables book that I read when I was younger on the shelves as well - very nostalgic. I'm more of a manga girl so I didn't really see too much nooks that interested me - but if you're really into hardcore literature than this place is definitely it. They had so much books categorized and it felt a bit overwhelming - yet I liked it. I love the smell of books when you walk in, very comforting. I love physical books as well so shops like these are a gem. Had people manning the cashier but mostly just people browsing around enjoying the selection of books. Did not see the price range, but I would assume it is standard in comparison to B&N pricing.
