About

Welcome to the Salt Lake-Moanalua Public Library! A former storefront library across the street, our current  library opened on Aug. 29, 1992. Our two-story building houses some of the library system’s administrative and support office staff. It features beautiful murals of historic Salt Lake and Moanalua during ancient Hawaiian times by renowned local artist Patrick Ching.

Recognize Retreat Report - UXO safety

Representatives for U.S. Army Corps of Engineers – Honolulu District, will be onsite providing a community-based education initiative on Unexploded Ordnance (UXO) safety on Oahu, addressing the presence of WWII-era munitions that still may be encountered at former training areas across Oahu.

Stop by their table and learn more about the 3R’s of UXO Safety:

  • Recognize: Learn to identify potential UXO
  • Retreat: Leave the area immediately if UXO is suspected
  • Report: Notify proper authorities

This simple yet crucial message aims to empower Oahu residents with the knowledge of UXO safety, specifically,  where UXO are more likely to be found, and what to do when encountered.

For those interested in learning more:

Email: Kevin Pien for more info on UXO Safety
