The Center for Korean Studies maintains a small, informal library and reading room for the convenience of faculty, students, and visitors. The library supplements the Korean resources in the Asia Collection of Hamilton Library and, with the exception of its archives and manuscripts collections, does not hold material not also available in the main library.

The library is located on the second floor of the Center for Korean Studies building at 1881 East-West Road on the University of Hawai‘i Mānoa campus. It is generally open for use during normal working hours, but assistance in using its holdings may vary depending on the availabilty of the student assistants who maintain the collection.

Much of the material in the library is stored on closed shelves and will be retrieved by library assistants on request. The library's holdings do not circulate. The library's catalog can be searched using the link below.
