This month, members chose to read a multitude of historical fiction titles and will gather to discuss them. Join us to discuss any historical fiction book you've recently read, and find out what our next read will be. This is the event for you if you want to join a book club, but also want to eat great snacks and drink local libations! The Library partners with The Boardroom for this popular new book club, and since The Boardroom is a bar, adults 21 and older can join.

These classes are set up to teach the basics to adults with little-to-no computer experience - enough to help you find your way around and be comfortable on a computer. College of the Redwoods Adult Ed teachers offer these free classes at the library. They will bring computers to use at the class, but you are welcome to bring your own laptop if you prefer.

What's it like for children when they hear about scary things happening in the world? How do we talk to our children about things they may not understand? How much do we say? What can we do to help each other recover from hearing scary news or facing our own scary feelings? These questions and more are addressed in this workshop, through shared reading, conversation, and activities. The discussion is facilitated by Wendy Kerr, an HSU student completing her Master's of Social Work while interning at First 5 Humboldt and the 0-8 Mental Health Collaborative.

Black Panther is a Marvel Comics adventure film for teens and adults. In ancient days, an African warrior eats a plant growing near the site of a fallen meteor rich in the powerful and mysterious substance 'vibranium'. He is endowed with superpowers. Heir to these Black Panther powers is young King T'Challa of Wakanda, who vows to protect vibranium from those who would abuse it. Backed up by an all-female warrior troop, by Shuri, a beautiful, funny princess with science smarts and an inventive mind, and by a host of other characters, T'Challa shows courage and integrity in the face of family treachery and outside evils.
