NORTHWEST RENO LIBRARY REOPENING
We'd like to welcome you back to the Northwest Reno Library. This library branch closed for renovations last fall, but is now fully back in service with improved amenities and an updated look. We will be celebrating with a grand opening event in March.
 
On Saturday February 26, at 1 pm, the newly renovated library will be hosting a film screening and discussion of Three Weeks: The 1960 Winter Olympic Games and the Civil Rights Movement. The screening of this short documentary will be followed by a discussion and Q&A with the film director Nancy O'Connell and commentator Geralda Miller. Register for this event here.
