It would be nice to have a selection of “aquarium science”, “reef”, or any tropical fish / coral magazine in the library; this magazine selection is informative, scientific, friendly, and something I would love to read! Thanks You.

The Library used to carry a broader selection of popular magazines that supported the recreational interests of students, including the magazine Tropical Fish Hobbyist.  With our reduced budget we are no longer able to support these recreational magazines and must rely on the local public library to support the recreational and hobby interests of students and the general community.  While the Humboldt County Library carries many popular magazines unfortunately I could not find any aquarium/tropical fish magazines listed in their Magazine List. You might suggest that they subscribe to a magazine in this subject area.

I think it would be a good idea to not post announcements about library hours etc… on the sliding glass door at the entrance. It is very difficult to read these as the door slides open as soon as you are close enough to read it. Not only is it difficult to read but the door slides open and closed and one is left blocking the entrance. Perhaps a better and more accesible place would be on the window in between the entrance and exit doors

Thank you for your suggestion.  It is true that signs posted on the sliding doors do move.  They have been posted there as they are more visible and more likely viewed as they are right in your face, but it is true that it could be a hazard.  In the future signs will be posted on the stationary windows; however, there may be occasional exceptions.  If you happen to notice that you, indeed, don’t pay attention to signs on the stationary windows, we’d appreciate your letting us know.  Thank you again.  We appreciate feedback from patrons.
