The new Village Books & Music store by Friends of the Library of Hawai‘i is conveniently located at the former Sedona store in the Ward Centre Mall at 1200 Ala Moana Blvd. Ample free parking is available in the adjacent structure. Thousands of books, CDs, DVDs, vinyl records, games, works of art, and much more are available for sale!

Inventory is restocked daily and rotated periodically. Please check back often for new items.
