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.

National Medal for Museum & Library Service
Dedicated in 1992, the Kim Yerton Memorial Library is named for a tribal member who dedicated her career to the collection and preservation of records and artifacts central to Hupa culture. This library also houses the largest collection of Native American materials of any institution in the Humboldt County Library System, and takes its part in making sure traditions are kept alive, while a doorway to the wide world is kept open.
In 2007, Kim Yerton Memorial Library won a National Medal for Museum and Library Service, the nation’s highest honor for libraries and museums that help make their communities better places to live.
Hoopa Library is in the California of the Past history project.
