Library at Your Door

To the Editor:

This letter comes in response to the great stories and experiences your writers so wonderfully shared with all your readers in the March issue [“The Reading Habit”]. I grew up around books. Our mother read us a story most nights before bedtime until we got into reading ourselves and checking out books at the library.

Speaking of the library, allow me to introduce you by a totally unsolicited, nonpaid advertisement concerning a great new service being offered by your Humboldt County Library. It is called “Library at Your Door.” When you sign up, you give them subjects, authors, print size, whatever your interest. The librarian in charge is very sharp in following your requests. With each free delivery, your books arrive in a nice blue library bag with a sharp knock on your door and a pickup of your last delivery.

Give them a call at 707-269-1954 or visit https://humboldtgov.org/3569/ Library-at-Your-Door for a lot more info about this service.

I still love going in person to the library when possible. Usually I don’t get past the “new arrivals” shelf. Surely Solomon spoke the truth when he said of the making of many books there is no end.

Give it a try. This service could open up an entirely new and unexplored reading experience for you.
