The Humboldt County Library enjoys tremendous support throughout the County. "Friends of the Library" organizations exist in nearly every branch library community. Through the work of the Friends, the library is able to add more books and materials to its collections and offer programs to enhance library services.

Contact the Friends at Friends@eurekafrl.org.

Access Map

Click here to see a map of access features at the Eureka Library.

 

Here are some of the access features at Eureka's Main Library:

.  Easy ramp access

.   Accessible parking spaces near the door and the ramp

.   Bus stop --  The closest city bus stops now are Purple Route stops at the Adorni Center (Waterfront & L St.) and at 3rd & T.  

The Adorni Center stop means a walk of perhaps three blocks on quiet streets to reach the library.  One block of this route goes up a fairly steep hill (from the Adorni center to the Carson mansion.) 

The Third & T stop is about five blocks from the library with no hill, and one busy street to cross (T Street.)

.  Motorized cart (scooter) with basket - located near the circulation desk where you enter the library;  ask at desk for key. 

.  Elevator access to second floor

.  Wheelchair accessible restrooms

.  Handrails in restrooms 

.  Handrails on all stairways as stair guides

.  All public computers can be adjusted for use by people who have visual impairments or prefer larger type. Please ask staff for assistance if needed.

.  Closed captioned videos to check out

.  Low vision readers on each floor to magnify books and other written material

.  Large print books and audio books to check out


. 
Ask us about the California State Library's Braille and Talking Book Library service.  This service loans books in Braille, and audio books and magazines  to people who are unable to read conventional print.  They also have digital audio books.  Materials can be sent to your home by mail or downloaded from the internet.  The Reference Librarian can help you connect to this resource.
