Aloha! Do you have fond memories of growing up in the charming town of Kaimukī? Would you like to share those stories and help preserve our community's history for future generations? If so, we have a wonderful opportunity for you! The team at Kaimukī Public Library is conducting interviews with community members to create a living oral history of our beloved Kaimukī area.
Remember, "i ka ʻōlelo nō ke ola, i ka ʻōlelo nō ka make" – our words hold incredible power. By sharing your experiences and insights, you’ll be enriching our understanding of Kaimukī's past and shaping how it’ll be remembered in the future.
To keep things moving along, we’ll need to keep each interview to about 5-10 minutes. Just a heads up, interviews will take place during our library hours. The stories we gather will become a key resource at the library and will be featured during the Kaimukī Public Library’s Anniversary Celebration in June!
If you're interested in participating or want more details, feel free to drop by the library or give us a call at (808) 733-8422. We can’t wait to hear your stories!
Anyone who requires an auxiliary aid or service for effective communication, or a modification of policies or procedures to participate in a program, service, or activity should contact library staff as soon as possible. Advance requests 48 hours or more before the event are encouraged, but not required. All programs are subject to change. See a schedule of upcoming events on the HSPLS Events Calendar.

Bringing together the work of 49 artists and artist collectives, across multiple sites, on three islands, Hawai‘i Triennial 2025 (HT25) is the state’s largest, thematic exhibition of contemporary art from Hawai‘i, the Pacific, and beyond. Every three years, Hawai‘i Contemporary presents the Triennial across museums, galleries, and outdoor and unconventional art spaces, and offers a complementary program of public engagements.
Entitled ALOHA NŌ, HT25 invites visitors to [re]consider their own notions and preconceptions of aloha. Artists will explore the practice of aloha, as it engenders a deep connectivity to the ʻāina (land), oceanic environment, elements, and each other. It enables us to protect and defend inter-archipelagic relations, that which we love, and our mutual interdependence.
