The Humboldt County Democrats thank you all for letting us use Room 21 to collect our books and the fellowship hall for our book sale. The book sale was a huge success! We collected almost $2,000.00 to contribute to the six public libraries in our county. Everyone was so generous! We enjoyed seeing everyone carrying out bags and boxes of books, puzzles, DVDs, CDs, games, toys, and albums. We have moved all the books and 2 boxes of albums (the collection of Eugene Smith) back into Room 21. Please stop in and help yourself. Fill some bags or boxes. Everything is free.
