Want to read a book but the library doesn't carry it?…read more Sign up for Zip Books!! I was told by the kind librarian, across from the library public computers, if the book is less than $30 and more than 2 (?) years old it can be ordered to your physical or post office address. Just don't make the same mistake as I did! I did not return it with the packaging and papers it came with. I was then sent an email by the main front desk telling me I was overdue. When contacted about this issue in person they mentioned it was a first time exception. Phew! I don't want to make that mistake again! Good luck hunting for rare gems.

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.

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

Beautiful building situated in Saunder's park in Trinidad. This library is staffed by one…read moreespecially loyal head librarian. 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. Now Trinidad has a state of the art building with many books donated by local benefactors. The library has a great children's section; a wonderful place to sit and read with your little one. Community activities include children's reading groups, teddy bear sleep-overs, lots of fun stuff.

The wives have been…read moretaking a drawing class and we're struggling to find someplace with rows where they could practice point perspective drawing. We had just had brunch at the Cafe Brio and decided they would try doing their drawing in the Arcata Library. The librarians there were the most rude individuals we have encountered in our travels. I feel sorry for the city of Arcata to have these individuals representing their city. Needless to say we won't be returning, and it definitely left us feeling unwelcome in this city.

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.

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.

If you care about your mental health, please don't go here. This is a school where a large number…read moreof the students come from other counties. The students specifically pick Humboldt because they had abusive childhoods or trauma they wanted to get super far away from while still having in-state tuition. This leads to highly traumatized young adults flocking to one area and being on their own for the first time. The bullying, harassment, several mental instability, etc. of some of these students is shocking and almost everyone I know has an extreme story of harassment due to this. PLEASE pick anywhere else. Yes, you may have a wonderful time and get lucky - but this school is far more likely that others to leave you with severe trauma, especially when paired with how highly isolated it is from outside support and resources.

Beautiful campus, great class sizes, interesting people, but a strange educational experience…read more One department claims antiracism as a core value, yet two professors either allowed racism to occur or participated in racism in class. Some professors that you think would be anti-sexist participated in sexism against men. And one professor was a bit too touchy-feely. A few professors in one department did not hold class during the Pro-Palestinian/Anti-Genocide occupation, and others would sometimes suddenly not hold class due to "personal reasons" or unpreparedness, or let people out early (like one professor letting students out 30 minutes early every class). Like any life-changing experience, I have good memories and bad ones. However, the bad ones were of the hypocritical type and should not have occurred. Plus, students are paying for their education--giving them "free time" is not a freebie...students are paying and going into debt for those "freebies." But other than that, the school is a pretty chill environment for learning.
