I had an afternoon of laundry to do and the extra heat in the condo drove Bill out in search of good air conditioning. Since Lahaina relies on the mountain breezes for natural cooling, not many places are air-conditioned. He ruled out the Cannery Mall, which does have AC as too distracting. We found the address for the Public Library and he set off for an afternoon of quiet and cool, his two favorite things. On four previous trips to Maui we had walked by this unprepossessing building and hadn’t even given it a second glance. But then we were walking on Front Street in Lahaina and really looking at its backside. Looking at it from the harbor side, it is quite charming. It has a lovely shaded yard, complete with a couple of napping people. Parking is a real challenge but after much circling and backtracking he found a spot. The surprise was the Public Library was the only open-air library he had ever seen…no air conditioning. He settled in anyway and enjoyed it. A week later we returned so I could check it out. It is a very nice small library with friendly staff that is good with visitors. They have several library carts near the entrance with books for sale cheap. If you finished your "airplane" book and none of the books at your condo/hotel exchange appeal to you, check out this charming place. There were no easy chairs but the library tables had comfortable chairs and vases full of flowers, too.
In the neighborhood you will find all the joys of Lahaina town: scenery, shopping, and cafes aplenty.
