Monetary Donations


The Library Welcomes Your Support



Monetary donations can be given directly to the library in person, by mail, or online.  For long-term support of the library and its mission, consider a donation to the Humboldt Library Foundation.  Purchasing books at the Serendipity Bookstore or at the Friends of the Library book sales is another way to put your money toward books and programs for the whole library or your favorite branch library.  

To donate online, use your credit card, debit card, or Paypal account at the  Official Payments website, and choose the Humboldt County Library.  (There is no added cost when using Official Payments to make a donation, although there is a fee to pay library fines by this method.)

If you prefer to donate in person or by mail, please print our donation form and bring or mail it to any County Library Location with your gift.
