Announcements

Aloha Fall 2025 New Students!
We are so excited to have you here! Here are helpful links to resources to help you navigate your upcoming classes.
Library Building Updates
Due to ongoing construction around campus, access paths to the Joseph F. Smith Library is rerouted. The building can be accessed via a sidewalk across from the HGB, passing by the three portables. Patrons then walk around the building to the main entrance. The door on the North side of the library facing Naniloa Loop is the main entrance to the library. Patience and understanding during this period of campus improvement are appreciated. See maps for reference.
Pacific Island Collection Relocated
The library administration has elected to move the Pacific Island Collection to the old Media Services area on a temporary basis in order to keep the library refurbishing project on target and to also diminish disruption of the use of the collection during spring 2025.
