📖 About Pearl City Public Library
The Pearl City Public Library is a branch of the Hawaii State Public Library System (HSPLS), the only statewide public library system in the United States. It opened on November 15, 1969 as the Pearl City Regional Library and is one of the largest public libraries on the island of Oʻahu, sitting along Waimano Home Road next to the Pearl City Police Station. In June 2015 the building reopened after major renovation work — re-roofing, new flooring, and a restored parking lot and book drop. The branch is one of only three libraries on Oʻahu open on Sundays, which makes its weekend hours a valued resource in the community. Inside there are 20 public computers, free Wi-Fi, photocopying, a Children's Room, and 62 free parking spaces; a single HSPLS library card issued here borrows across every branch on all the Hawaiian Islands and unlocks the system's shared digital collections.
