Community Engagement

The library is more than a place to visit.

We strive to be an active partner in our community by sharing resources, sparking new connections, and making library services easier for everyone to access. That's why our Outreach and Community Engagement Teams attend events across the county year-round. From neighborhood festivals and the Clark County Fair to health expos and back-to-school bashes, we want to bring the library to you.

Youth & Families

Through school visits, major community events, and our Literacy on the Lawn summer program, we provide free books and engaging activities to encourage a love of reading and allow families to experience the library in a new way.

Older Adults & Individuals with Disabilities

We schedule specialized programming at 18 sites each month, including senior centers, memory care facilities, and communities for people with developmental and intellectual disabilities.
