Literacy party
The Humboldt Literacy Project and Humboldt County Library invite families to a “Family Literacy Party” featuring storyteller Ernie Albers in a mini-library tour in Eureka, Willow Creek and Hoopa.
On Wednesday at 5:30 p.m., Albers will be at the Eureka Library, 1313 Third St. On Thursday at 10:30 a.m., he will be at the Willow Creek Library and then at 1:30 p.m. at the Kim Yerton Memorial Library in Hoopa.
This special storytelling event supports family literacy, is free for children and the adults who love them and all participants get to pick out a free book to take home. For more information, call 707-269-1910 or visit www.humlib.org.
Albers is a Yurok tribal member as well as a Karuk and Hupa descendent. He comes from a long line of traditional storytellers and has been deeply rooted in ceremony and culture from a young age. Taking lessons learned from ceremony, he uses storytelling to relate them to life and obstacles in today’s world while also making them fun and interactive.
Since 1981, the Humboldt Literacy Project has provided free, confidential English Language tutoring with programs for native English speakers, English as a second language, and family literacy.
