People of all ages and interests use, enjoy and rely on the public library. In every branch, there are public internet workstations, reference materials, videos, music CDs, and audio books. From your home computer, you can access the card catalog, reserve books, or download E-books, and much more. The materials are accessible and there are reference librarians to answer your questions. The public library is the gateway to explore the world, spark the imagination, launch young minds or simply answer a question. The county’s ten branch libraries and bookmobile represent an enormous asset to our community.

You can help ensure our library will continue to inspire and meet the needs of the future by supporting the Humboldt Library Foundation.
