Welcome to the McCully-Mōʻiliʻili Public Library! Designed by architect Robert Matsushita, our two-story library opened on Nov. 22, 1969. Our library features an auditorium and a carpeted storytelling well. In addition, the Korean Library Foundation, a non-profit organization founded by Sook Ki and Eugene Moon in 1997, is located on the 2nd floor, where it maintains the largest Korean language collection in the library system.
Are you an artist or content creator? Are you interested in sharing and uplifting stories from your communities? Youth & students are invited to join the Hawai’i Workers Center and Hawai’i State Public Library System for an Imua Youth Leadership Academy Art & Media for Social Change two-part workshop. Please RSVP to 808-743-1031 or hiworkerscenter@gmail.com.
