Hawaii State Library, Mediterranean Revival public library in downtown Honolulu, United States
The Hawaii State Library features a four-story rectangular structure with a six-story tower, Tuscan columns, and 18-foot arches at the entrance point.
The library originated from a Reading Room in 1879, initially allowing only men to check out books to prevent disorderly conduct among seamen.
The second floor contains Hawaii's only Patent and Trademark Depository Library and serves as a Federal Depository Library housing government documents.
Located at 478 South King Street at the intersection with Punchbowl Street, the library provides photocopying services and research materials for on-site consultation.
The Mural Room displays art depicting Hawaiian legends, while the palm-lined center courtyard offers spaces for reading among Mediterranean architecture.
