In normal times, Library meeting space is available to non-profit civic, educational and cultural groups or organizations.  During the pandemic, however, the library is not hosting meetings or indoor events.


All Meetings Must be Free & Open to the Public

In addition, the meeting room is not available for sectarian religious meetings, purely social purposes, commercial purposes or for the benefit of private individuals. If used for a political meeting, both sides of a political race or issue must be presented. A schedule of all meetings will be posted in the library’s lobby.

For events that are not sponsored or cosponsored by the Library, there is a $50 charge for each time the room is used. A Certificate of Insurance of liability coverage, naming the County of Humboldt as an additional insured, for 1 million dollars ($1,000,000), must be on file with the library prior to using the room.
