Humboldt County loves its libraries!

And at HLF we are inspired to help open the world of the library for kids and families, for lifelong learners, for anyone who wants to reach for the treasures that lie within. 

We are thrilled to be a part of the magic of learning — the thrill of discovery that lights up the face of a young reader, or for the teen finding the latest graphic novel.  You’ve felt it, too — finding a new author, or exploring a new genre, or the simple pleasure of listening to a down loadable audio book.  Learning is challenging and fun and the library is the place where you already own it – it is accessible and free. 

If you’ve dropped by lately, you know new books are plentiful, and exciting new programs abound.  Families and patrons are flocking to the library. The branches are bustling with family literacy nights, themed story hours and creative dance, sign language classes, winter crafting, book clubs, and even a Lego club.  

The Humboldt County Library is a community hub, unique in its breadth of diversity – from the Main to the ten branch libraries and fourteen rural communities served by the Bookmobile.

At HLF we amplify public funding for the library. Your support makes all the difference – in opportunities offered, curiosity satisfied, and creativity unleashed.
