Hawaii State Public Library System Announces Temporary Closure
HONOLULU — In response to recent guidance around social distancing issued by the Centers for Disease Control and the State Department of Health, the Hawaii State Public Library System has made the difficult decision to close all public library locations for public access effective March 18 – 31, 2020. Bookmobile services will also be suspended. During these uncertain times, the Hawaii State Public Library System thanks the public for their support and patience as we continue to evaluate and adjust our operations because of the COVID-19 pandemic. The health and safety of our communities is our top priority.
Library Materials:
Don’t worry about fine and fees – in order to provide equitable access to resources, due dates and holds will be automatically extended to accommodate the closure period. Patrons may continue to drop off library books and materials at any of our library branches.
Online Resources:
The Hawaii State Public Library System is always open at librarieshawaii.org with many amazing online resources that are available 24/7 for free with your library card. Our online collection includes: ebooks and audiobooks; digital magazines and newspapers, including the New York Times; homework resources, such as Mango languages; and other online learning tools.
We realize that the temporary closure of our libraries may present a hardship for our patrons, but we’re working on innovative solutions to ensure library access in the future. Updates will be posted on our website as they become available.
Thank you for your continued cooperation and understanding as we navigate through this unprecedented time. We look forward to welcoming everyone back to the Hawaii State Public Library System libraries soon.
