The highly anticipated sale returns for two weekends at South Shore Market

HONOLULU – After a two-year hiatus, Friends of the Library of Hawaiʻi Music & Book Sale, presented by Hawaiʻi State Federal Credit Union, will open at Ward Village®, the award-winning destination in the heart of Honolulu to live, shop, dine and explore. The twelfth annual Music & Book Sale pop-up event will feature more than 25,000 records, 10,000 CDs, 15,000 books and an extensive collection of DVDs, comics, art, and furniture.

“Hawaiʻi’s public libraries remain integral to advancing community education, creativity and literacy,” said Nainoa Mau, Executive Director of Friends of the Library of Hawai‘i. “We experienced tremendous success with our Village Books & Music location in Ward Village, and we look forward to using this space, once again, to support public libraries and share our love of literature, music and art with the community.”

Spanning two weekends, the 12th Music & Book Sale pop-up event, presented by Hawaiʻi State Federal Credit Union, will be held at Ward Village's South Shore Market.

Friends of the Library of Hawai‘i will restock inventory daily, ensuring a wide variety of offerings remains available for Honolulu’s bookworms and music lovers. Proceeds from the sale support Hawaiʻi’s 51 public libraries.

“The opportunity to support Hawaiʻi’s learners is what makes this event so special,” said Jeff Chen, Senior General Manager of Ward Village. “We welcome Ward Village residents and visitors to shop and enjoy this cultural hub.”

The Friends of the Library of Hawaiʻi Music & Book sale is powered by volunteers from the community.

About Ward Village®
​Ward Village is a 60-acre master planned community by The Howard Hughes Corporation® in the heart of Honolulu, located between downtown and Waikīkī.

At full buildout, the community will include thousands of homes and approximately one million square feet of unique retail in what Architectural Digest named “Best Planned Community in the United States.”

As a result of strong demand for new housing in urban Honolulu, Ward Village is quickly approaching sellout of its first six mixed-use residential towers—Waiea®, Anaha®, Ae‘o®, Ke Kilohana®, ʻAʻaliʻi® and Kō‘ula® transforming the popular shopping and dining district into a thriving urban neighborhood that offers ocean views and open space, including its newest outdoor gathering place, Victoria Ward Park. New residential buildings in development or under construction include Victoria Place® and Kalae. Since launching public sales in July 2021, The Park Ward Village has become the fastest-selling market tower in the history of Ward Village. Approved by the Hawaiʻi Community Development Authority (HCDA) in 2021, The Park Ward Village and Ulana Ward Village will be the newest mixed-use developments to join the neighborhood.
