Makiki Library is a recreational reading room and lending library that relies on book/periodical and financial donations and volunteer help for its operations. It is operated by a nonprofit group (the Friends of Makiki Community Library) and is not part of the Hawaii State Public Library System. The library’s collection includes fiction (juvenile, young adult, and adult), nonfiction, biography, Hawaiiana, and reference books as well as periodicals. The library includes a cozy section where young children can read or look at easy reader or picture books. (All children under age six must be accompanied by a parent or designated responsible person while in the library.) The standard loan period for books is four weeks.
Patrons may apply at the library circulation desk to get a library card. Applicants under 13 years of age must have a parent or guardian give their consent on the application form before a new card can be issued.
Books in good condition may be donated to the library only on Sundays between noon and 3 p.m. The manager will accept only those books that are deemed appropriate for the collection and in good enough condition, and reserves the right to refuse to accept books that are not suitable for the library’s collection.
