August 2025 - the Redding library is CLOSED for remodeling until "Fall" - maybe October maybe not…read more Don't make any plans that involve going there for the time being. There is one room open with some books but no chairs or tables and that's it. I suppose they have their reasons but closing for so long when it's regularly over 100 degrees and not having any place for someone to sit in a cool, quiet place and read is just so negligent.

Good customer service. They are the best. When you need help they help you right away. Rachel was…read morethe most helpful to me and very patient. Great employee. I could not have gotten the crucial letter off to my state representatives in the required time. Thanh you Rachel. You need a raise because of your knowledge and your kind assistance.

There is plenty of…read moreseating all throughout the library including a balcony section where you can get some fresh air. This library also has 2 large computer labs with wifi connected. Printing is 10cents a page. They also have free wifi for your own electronic device. Most books, CDs, and DVDs are renting in a. 2 week loan. However, there are many books, especially textbooks, you can only have for 2 hours at a time. I love going hear just to get away from it all.

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.

This is an exceptionally well-run library with a great vibe. I especially appreciate the "take what…read moreyou like" cart out front and the wonderful selection available in the room with used books for sale. They also offer many workshops and programs.

It was so wonderful that we came back the next rainy day. The librarians were so friendly and generous. They have dozens of puzzles for infants through older kids (with no missing pieces!) and a large area mat for building them; Tinker Toys; Legos; board games like chess, Monopoly and Scrabble; crayons and paper; and a large children's book section. For out-of-towners, they have sections of honor" books which you can borrow without a card. And they have some books/magazines for sale and some for free as well (the local bookstore appeared to be closed down when we were here, so this is a helpful option). If you and your family need an indoor escape, come here!

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.

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.

Five stars for customer service…read more I came to print an email attachment. 10 cents a page for black and white prints. Plenty of computers, internet, sections for kids (activities too). Internet computer use is limited to 1 hour. I didn't look at the book selection that closely but the library itself looks great for studying.

Its easy online now to look up a book and put a hold on a title you are looking for from any library in the system. They also have several computers available for the public to use on a limited basis (so that everyone has a chance to use them). consider donating books or money to help them out.

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
