Līhuʻe Public Library
About
Welcome to the Līhuʻe Public Library! We are the largest library on Kauaʻi, located in central Līhuʻe within walking distance of many State and County buildings. Designed by architect Stephen Oyakawa, our 22,300 sq. ft. building is distinguished by its arc-shaped roof and lava rock walls. We serve as the regional library and Federal Depository for Kauaʻi. In 2013, our library underwent extensive ADA renovations with facility upgrades and improvements.
Upcoming events at this branch
- November 4, 2026 @ 3:30 pm - 5:00 pm
- Categories: Arts & Crafts, Books, Learning, Writing
- Contact: 808-241-3222
Journaling is an excellent tool to help process thoughts, feelings and events. Writing things out, putting them on paper, has been shown to help with depression and reduce anxiety and stress.
Friends of the Lihue Library will provide journals, pens, stickers and washi tape. You just need to bring your imagination and inner artist.
For Part 1 of the program (November 4) have fun designing and decorating your journal to make it your very own. For Part 2 (November 18) you will have quiet time to free journal or work with prompts. Light snacks and refreshments provided.
The theme for this journaling program is gratitude or self-care. But you are free to design the journal for yourself outside of the themes.
This program is best for Teens, ages 12-18 years-old.
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.

If you didn’t make the first event, that’s ok! You can still get a journal, decorate / design it and then journal too.
