a fundraiser for Humboldt Literacy Project
May 8, 2025 from 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM
Please register your team by April 15th, 2025
It’s your chance to win sweet, sweet glory and be the envy of your know-it-all peers!
The 20th Anniversary Great Humboldt Trivia Challenge is Humboldt County's premier battle of wits. It's the most fun you can have combating a serious problem... illiteracy! And it's a Humboldt County tradition.
Did we mention dinner is included? And a no-host bar.
Teams that do not know it all can submit their funny-but-incorrect answers to the Humor Judge for special humor prizes.
And all funds raised directly support our programs in Adult Literacy, Family Literacy, and ESL. Leave your smart phone at home and create your own team of three.
Here is the form to register your team! Call 707-445-3655 for more information.
Have Fun!
Family Literacy Parties
We love to have fun here at HLP! Starting with our FREE Family Literacy Parties. These events are held periodically throughout the year at local library branches. We have been working hard to get these events to more remote library branches like Willow Creek, Hoopa, and Rio Dell. Family Literacy Parties consist of local entertainment; story telling, dance, music, puppetry, magic, and movement, often paired with crafts for the littles, and free books at the end provided by us. They are usually an hour long with the express purpose of encouraging family literacy through play and creativity. Keep an eye out on our social media, posters, and announcements for the next one near you!

Tutor Learner Appreciation Night: November 14, 2024 6-9 PM at the Eureka Woman's Club
Once a year we hold an appreciation night for our Tutors, Learners and their friends and families. This event is specifically designed to celebrate and highlight our programs' most important asset, YOU! We hold our event in the fall and celebrate by eating delicious food, gifts, raffles, presentations and games. This is our way of thanking you for being a part of our organization.
Humboldt Literacy Projects’ Book Club:
We are starting a book club in 2024 for tutors and learners. This will be a fun casual way to stay involved with all things reading and book like. These will start being held via Zoom but we are exploring how this goes and will be developing it further as we get feedback. We successfully had our first meeting. The next meeting is scheduled for March 1, 2025 at our office from 11 a.m. The book we chose is The No.1 Ladies' Detective Agency by Alexander McCall Smith.
Other Events:
New Tutor Orientation January 18, 2025 from 8:30 to 11:30 AM Via Zoom. Please go to our "Give Help" page on our website to sign up by filling out an intake form.
