Abstract
The Honoka’a Public Library is an educational, cultural, and social intellectual hub of the community, and has been such since its erection in 1937. The period of significance is associated with historic trends directly related to the commercial development of Honoka’a Town, and is associated with the increased enrollment at Honoka’a School as it expanded to include Honoka’a Junior High School. The library building is also significant in its contribution to Hawaiian architectural design and construction. It is an Hawaiian plantation-style vernacular building, which importantly serves the needs of the community as an educational, social, and cultural venue. The architect was Harry Ka’onohi Stewart.
