The Waipahu Public Library marked its 30th anniversary with a community celebration, a positive moment for families in central Oahu.

• The library celebrated three decades of service with a morning of family activities.
• The original party was pushed back after storms hit the islands in March.
• Events included Filipino martial arts demonstrations and magic shows.
• State librarian Stacy Aldrich pointed to the library's role as a hub for learning and connection in central Oahu.

Outlook: The library continues as a community gathering place, with more public programs expected through the year.
