In partnership with AARP, the Library District is proud to provide free tax assistance to Southern Nevada residents over the age of 18 this season. Due to increased safety measures and COVID-19 restrictions, tax assistance sessions are limited and by appointment only. AARP has set up dedicated appointment phone numbers for each library location. Please listen carefully to the pre-recorded message as each appointment phone number has site-specific instructions and timelines. Please leave a message and calls will be returned in the order they were received.

Grieving the World We Have Lost, Finding Hope in What Remains
Fall is here. We should be trading recipes for our next big tailgate bash and posting first day of school pictures. But this fall is not normal, and if you’re feeling out of sorts about it, you are not alone! And consider this … you might be grieving for things that aren’t what they once were. Even if you have been fortunate enough not to have lost someone you love to this virus, you still have experienced valid losses in your everyday life. On this note, I want to remind you that your library is always here to help.
Celebrate Teen October
We love teens, so we are creating a special month just for them! We’re calling it TEEN October, and we’re folding Teen Read Week and Teen Tech Week (which used to happen in March) into this one big month-long lollapalooza for Teens! So here’s what you can look forward to:
- Our libraries will host one or more in-branch programs or Take and Make programs weekly.
- Programs will focus on creativity, STEAM, diversity, school success, and helping teens navigate the current world climate in a healthy way.
- All programs will be super safe, following current state restrictions on large events.
TEEN October will definitely grow in the years to come. We anticipate hosting more large events throughout the month of October, which will we model after our other long-running, wildly popular events like Teen Anime Fest and Comic Book Festival.
