Space

  • More than 75 volunteers give their time year-round to process 750,000+ donations and store 150+ pallets of books & media for our sales in our warehouse.
  • Our sales raise 50% of our revenues for Hawai‘iʻs 51 public libraries.
  • The 8,000 SF warehouse that we currently rent is bursting at the seams!
  • Industrial warehouse space in Honolulu is quickly disappearing and the time is now to secure a location for a stable future.

Welcome!

The Friends of the Library of Hawai‘i is a nonprofit organization whose primary objective is to maintain free public libraries in the State of Hawai‘i, to promote extension of library services throughout the State of Hawai‘i and to increase the facilities of the public library system of Hawai‘i by securing materials beyond the command of the ordinary library budget. Other objectives are to focus attention on libraries and to encourage and accept, by bequest or gift, donations of books, manuscripts, money, and other appropriate material that can enrich the cultural opportunities available to the people of Hawai‘i.
