We are pleased to announce the grand opening of the library's new landscape! Taking several years of planning and consultation, the project was funded by the Friends of the Aina Haina Public Library, designed and completed in January 2015 by Aloha Aina Landscaping, LLC. We would like to thank our Friends and Aloha Aina Landscaping for making our front yard a beautiful and inviting space!

Created by the artist who brought you "Blue", "Auntie Martha and the Nene" and "Peter Rabbit", this age appropriate experience focuses on what makes us happy.
