Heads up, Humboldt:
While the county's masking mandate has been lifted, Public Health is still strongly recommending masking indoors in public, social distancing and "avoiding crowds and poorly ventilated spaces."
COVID-19 is still with us, so be sure to check the protocols at event venues.
Friends of the McKinleyville Library will be holding it's monthly Second Saturday Sale on June 11th from 1-4pm in the McKinleyville Shopping Center next to the Totem Pole. There will be very good condition used books for sale at very affordable prices; a great opportunity to pick up a book as a gift for Father's Day or some other special occasion. There are many new donations to browse on the recent arrivals table as well as the usual One-of-a-Kind books and non-fiction selections of gardening, cooking, art and music, history, biographies, animals and pets, self help, health, and spiritual books. In addition there is a large selection of trade paperbacks, mysteries, science fiction, fantasy, romance and other fiction. Adults and kids of all ages will find fun and interesting books for summer reading. What better gift than the gift of reading? Studies show that reading has 50% more rare words than does prime-time television and provides many more word learning opportunities. What better way to engage the mind?! The popular sidewalk sale has tables full of hard-cover and paperback books at $2 per bag. Bring a recyclable bag and fill it with books and get the best bargain in town. All our books are donated by friends of libraries, all workers are volunteers, and all proceeds support local library programs and projects. Donations of good condition used books are appreciated and may be brought to the sale site during open hours. Look for the red and white book sale signs to find the book sale site.
