Kapa‘a library to stop offering passport services soon
Officials at the Kapa‘a Public Library, who provide a passport- application assistance service through a partnership with those in the Honolulu Passport Agency of the U.S. Dept. of State, are scheduled to discontinue this service effective Wednesday, they said in a press release.
Increased demands on staff to fulfill primary duties as a public library, plus the fact that the nearby Kapa‘a post office and other post offices offer this service, led to the library officials’ decision.
Officials at the Hanapepe Public Library currently provide a passport-application acceptance service for the Westside.
Over the past several years, officials at the Kapa‘a Public Library have benefited financially from this cooperative partnership with those at the Honolulu Passport Agency, who provided much-needed funds to purchase library materials.
The last day that Kapa‘a Public Library workers are scheduled to provide this service will be Tuesday.
