Village Books & Music at Ward Centre closed permanently on May 31, 2026 due to the closure of the Ward Centre Mall on June 30, 2026. In the month of June we will be moving to our new location at 610 Ward Ave. (“Obama Building”) where we will open in mid-July.
Please visit our 77th Annual Booksale at Ward Centre June 13-21 in the former Roger Dunn space on the ʻEwa end of the mall.
The 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!
