Hawaii is a couple of weeks behind other parts of the world experiencing this global pandemic but sadly it has gone beyond the shoreline and is in our communities.

At Kona Bay Books we are hard at work behind the scenes building our online store. We are adding items daily. Also, we are applying for every resource that becomes available.

We have our phone lines open so you can call us to see what we have in stock. Did you know that we have 158,000 used books lining the 2 miles of shelves in our 6000' ft store? We also carry a curated selection of new books in the broad category of Hawaiiana.

We can get you nearly any title you may want and have it sent to you directly from our affiliate on the mainland.

You can DM us orders. You can email us. If you have been to our store, chances are that you love it. Show us some love by leaving us a review on Google, trip advisor, Facebook or yelp. These things really matter to small businesses.

So to anyone out there in Hawaii or anywhere in the US, if you are isolating, please don't order your books from Amazon. (yes, I said it out loud!) Think of us or your own local indie bookstore. Let us know how we can help. We want to be part of your community.
