Renovated Princeville library begins limited door service in May

Princeville Public Library closed its doors Oct. 30, 2023, for a $7 million face-lift that included health and safety improvements.

Staff is excited to reopen the facility, located at 4343 ‘Emmalani Drive, in May and again offer the full range of public library services to the North Shore community by June.

Limited door service will be offered beginning May 1 as staff make their transition.

Renovations originally were scheduled to be finished by late October 2024, but were extended into this spring. During the library’s closure, a temporary pop-up location offering limited library services was open in the library’s parking lot.

The pop-up location will close at 4 p.m. April 12 in preparation for the newly renovated library facility’s reopening; the last day to pick up holds and reserves is the same day.

Books can be returned through the library building’s book drop or to any other public library around the island.
