Biographical / Historical Note
The North Las Vegas Library was established in 1966 and the North Las Vegas Library District was established in 1993 by an act of the Nevada State Legislature. The Chief Administrative Officer and District Director co-manage this library district. They, along with a Board of Trustees, oversee the library district's budget, management and operations. In addition to the North Las Vegas Library, there are two other branches in the Library District. The Aliante Library was established in May 2006 and the Alexander Library opened on March 11, 2009. In 2014, due to budget constraints, the North Las Vegas Library moved to its new location in the North Las Vegas City Hall building.
The North Las Vegas Library District provides public reference services, children’s arts and crafts, story times, a Spanish language collection, cultural and civic programs, public use computers with internet access, and current DVD movies.
