Humboldt County Library Offering Summer Reading, Free Craft Activity Kits - Redheaded Blackbelt

Celebrate summer with your library! Children and their families are invited to sign up for summer reading and pick up free craft activity kits during curbside pickup hours at all Humboldt County Library locations throughout the county. Participants can sign up for summer reading on the library’s website (https://humboldtgov.org/1502/Summer-Reading-Club) or by requesting a reading log during curbside pickup at any library.

Activity kits are available on a first-come, first-served basis, while supplies last. The first activity kit, a Pretend Picnic, will be offered beginning June 30 and includes a paper basket to assemble and decorate and supplies to make paper food items. The library is also offering a bag of basic supplies – crayons, scissors, tape, and a glue stick – for those who do not have those items readily available.

Patrons may request one activity kit per child and one basic supply bag per household by going to any library branch during curbside pickup hours and calling that library to ask for the kits. As when picking up library materials, please remain in your vehicle or stay at least six feet away from the entrance while waiting. If you do not have a cell phone, knock at the library door, and then move back at least six feet to allow library staff to answer the door. The activity kits will be brought outside, where you can get them after library staff return inside.

Additional activity kits on a variety of themes will be offered every week or so through early August. Check the library website and social media accounts for ongoing updates on activity kit distribution and other library services. Participants are encouraged to use #HumCoLibrary and #CASummerReading to share photos of finished craft activities on social media.

A summer reading log is included in each activity kit – participants are invited to talk, sing, read, write, and play this summer and share their fun by turning in a paper reading log in any library book drop or by filling out the form on the library website. As usual, summer reading participants can track the books they read themselves or books they listen to – in a virtual story time with the library, for instance:  https://humboldtgov.org/calendar.aspx?CID=24,25,26,27,28,29,30,31,32,33,34,35,36,39

While assembling kits, library staff members are practicing social distancing and using PPE in accordance with public health recommendations. None of the activity kit supplies need to be returned to the library. The supplies are a gift to the community, thanks to summer program sponsors:  First 5 Humboldt; the Friends of the Redwood Libraries; Humboldt Sponsors; Humboldt Area Foundation; St. Joseph Health System, Humboldt County; McLean Foundation; and the Patricia D. & William B. Smullin Foundation.
