Blue Lake Library

Summer Reading

When school lets out for the summer, the Humboldt County Library begins its Summer Reading Program. 

All children are welcome to join in Summer Reading, plus we offer challenges for teens and adults.

See the description below for special events in our branch.

You'll also be welcome to attend events in any other library branch! Read the library events calendar to see them. If you like, subscribe to the calendar to be notified 3 days before each event.

Secrets of the Library Catalog

You probably know that you can use the library catalog to place a hold on any book in our library system for delivery to your local branch. 

But, were you aware that you can get an email alert when a new book arrives by a favorite author, or on a subject of interest to you?

You can also create a personal reading wish-list, and, if you like, keep a list of books you've checked out in the past (you can edit or delete these lists at will.)

Find out how by visiting the "Search the Online Catalog" page.

 Wireless Internet

Free high-speed wireless internet access is available at the Blue Lake Branch Library. Blue Lake Library is a community wireless hotspot, accommodating up to 50 users at a time. 

To use the wireless, request a password from library staff any time the library is open.
