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.

I've been to a handful of other places in Gold Beach for meals, and this is the friendliest I've visited so far. Some establishments in town definitely have a "locals only" vibe, but Gold Beach Books seems much more welcoming to out-of-towners.
