Zoom into Ms. Sue's School-age Storytime for stories and songs. Get out your rhythm sticks and shaker eggs (beans in a jar?) if you have them, and if not, clapping hands will do just fine! Call 822-5954 or email Ms. Sue to register and receive a Zoom invitation.

The library's programs and services are intended to be accessible to people with disabilities. Please call if you have questions about access, and please let us know if you require assistance in the library. Call the reference desk at 707-269-1905.

Looking for an entertaining and free outdoor activity? Visit the StoryWalk outside Arcata Library. Walk and read 'Cuckoo/Cucu', by Lois Ehlert, whose beautifully-illustrated bilingual texts are posted at 18 reading stations. 'Cuckoo/Cucu' is based on a Mexican folktale. StoryWalk was founded by Anne Ferguson.

Read. Share. Relate the story to your life. We're reading 'This Was Our Pact', a graphic novel by Ryan Andrews, which takes place during an Autumn Equinox festival. Two friends, Nathaniel and Ben, follow drifting paper lanterns and travel beyond the farthest border into a wondrous world of unexpected friendship . . . and a talking bear. Get your copy of the book either by placing a hold online, or call 707-822-5954 to hold a paper copy provided by Friends of Arcata Library. Pick up your hold, once notified that it's ready, at Arcata's curbside delivery.

Are you a writer looking for a community of fellow writers? Have you always wanted to write but didn't know where to start? Are you just looking for a new hobby to take up while Sheltering-in-Place? Join the Humboldt County Library in our latest online program - The Write Stuff. This writing group will meet on Zoom once a week to share their writing, offer feedback, and share inspiration.

Read all you like, and on July 30 join us for a big online meetup. Watch, listen, and zoom with artists, authors, and librarians about grassroots graphic novel creation, great new reads, plus art and writing skills & tips. 4,000 comics, graphic novels, and children’s comic book style fact-based stories are free from your library this summer -- and they’re not the ones you’ve already read. Most are by indie authors and artists. They’re diverse, and some are in Spanish.
