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.
Humboldt County Libraries
Story times and events that happen every week may not always be included in our busy Library Events Calendar.
McKinleyville has several regular storytimes. You can see more about them as you scroll further down the page.
Or, click the link below to see a list of all Humboldt County Library events that happen on an ongoing basis and on a regular schedule, such as weekly storytimes, monthly book discussions, quarterly film series, and annual Summer Reading Programs.
See the full list now....
Three internet computers are available for public use. Two offer one-hour turns, and the third offers half-hour turns.
For your convenience, you may reserve your turn in advance. Printing is available at 10 cents for black and white prints, 50 cents for color.
Wireless Internet
is available whenever the library is open. No password is necessary to use this free public internet access.
Video Magnifier
McKinleyville Library now offers you the opportunity to use a video magnifier while you are in the library.
The Optelec Jr. Video Magnifier can magnify words and photos.
Just slip your book under the built-in video camera and turn a knob to magnify the print to any size you want. Then read from the screen facing you.
The video magnifier was generously donated by a member of the community. If you prefer, you can call to make an advance reservation to use it, or just stop by.
