I recently left the book The Help behind in Fortuna,CA…read more The book is an engaging book in which I could not put down ( yes I am aware of the controversies in the books I read such as trying a new restaurant in order to review it) :-) I was determined to read an online version of the book and thankfully I ran into their virtual county library website. Here it is: https://northnet.overdrive.com As a teacher I need to share the knowledge with any folks from Humboldt or anyone who has obtained a public library card in Northern California counties. Overall, I have not gone in person post COVID to check out any books or media so this review is based on post COVID times especially in our digital age.

We've return to this library thanks to Shoshanna in the Children's library. We hear so many good…read morethings about her in our community. She is a light of sunshine, kind, creative, supportive, and very helpful. Her optimism and positivity is priceless. Our County of Humboldt is lucky to have her. The children's area has opened ended play and nature inspired stations friendly for young children. We love the new playground however I wish there was a way to close the gate because it is open to the street and people drive fast through that curved corner. In addition, there are sometimes men sitting at the table but they don't have any children with them. Sometimes this makes me feel uncomfortable as a mom with young kiddos.

I would check out book after book with no problems at all--lots of books at a time even. I learned more from reading these academic library books than from my classes. Great selection of poetry, too. I mean GREAT. And to top it off, there's coffee! I miss having access to so many wonderful books.

What I Love about this library is that you can reap the benefits of various resources especially if…read moreyou're at HSU student or alumni. For instance you can rent out books, articles or scientific periodicals from other California state universities and I was told also order from international Universities. The benefit of being a grad school is that you can have books up to one year until return date is due and rent out their cam corders and camera for an extended period of time . I started off at this school in 2017 and I definitely have seen many renovations through the years including the café, study rooms, tall shelving and interactive group desks, where group members can meet an use a TV to connect to class projects or the Internet. Till this day the library still has a glass case where they display a wide assortment of clubs, issues and events on campus, with nice added touches of regalia/memorabilia! I highly appreciate the fact that this library recycles electronics this can be found at the exit of the library in the main entrance.

The McKinleyville community library is a part of the Humboldt county library system. A very small…read morefacility that serves as a great local resource. Located on Pickett Road across the packing lot from the Azalea senior center and adjacent to Pierson park. This satellite facility is supported by the local community, and has a great volunteer staff. As well the "friends of the mckv library" have a monthly book sale fundraiser to help support this facility and help to keep it open. The monthly book sale attracts hundreds of book enthusiasts every month. A small but very well stocked reference section at this library. As well you can order books to checkout anywhere within the county system and have the book delivered to this branch making it easy to pick up for the reader. A nice local library, small but efficient and definitely serves a purpose in the community. 4 stars - worth a visit. 00341

She's been with the library through thick and thin, as the library moved from storage closets to small empty classrooms around this small community.

Community activities include children's reading groups, teddy bear sleep-overs, lots of fun stuff.

Del Norte County has one incorporated city and a small, small budget. They do the best they can…read morehere at the library, despite not meeting budget needs. When I moved here from the big city, I expected to not find anything I wanted to read here. Of course, I was wrong. I'm always bringing home a new book to try. I also spend many a lunch hour using their free wifi. They have computers for those who need them, too. There are plenty of books on local history, which has been interesting to a newcomer like me. There are books on local plants and animals, which proves helpful while hiking. While the new releases I want to read aren't always in the collections, I can often find something that catches my fancy. And the cookbook selection is pretty fun. Finally, I come here to check out the bulletin board for interesting events in town, including park ranger-led hikes in neighboring state and national parks. This is a small but mighty library.

Ah.. The library. My world came alive with the aid of the books located in those dusty old shelves…read more I spent many a rainy afternoon as a kid lost in those stacks, forgetting myself in this small town oasis. As I grew up, I saw with sadness the hours they were open dwindle more and more. If I were to move back to CC (hell would have to freeze over first) I would volunteer as much time as I could to help this place stay alive. I remember story time for kids, looking up local events, learning to use the card catalog and the old microfiche machines... Cuddling up with a paperback in those old overstuffed chairs... hiding from adults as I read the more mature books that I was much too young for... I hope some little Del Norters are enjoying the library as much as I used to when I was there.
