The Adult Services department

You’ll find the Adult Services staff seated behind the Reference Desk when you visit the library. Adult Services is responsible for assisting all patrons, regardless of age, to locate books, articles, websites, and other materials for personal research or entertainment. The staff assists patrons on the computers as well as in the physical branch of the library. Staff also answer questions from our reference email (reference@hdpl.org) as well as text messages (see the next post for more information on how to text us). Staff is also responsible for maintaining and ordering for the adult collection of materials. Therese, Librarian (pictured) is the department head. Fulltime staff members include Allyson, Librarian, and Elizabeth, Adult Services Specialist and a Librarian in training. Part time staff includes Librarians Caroline and Tiffany.

Sunrise Mountain view

Here's a close up view of the construction site with Sunrise Mountain in the background. There's activity going on towards the left hand side of the building. The parking lots have a lot of spaces away from the shopping center so parking will no longer be an issue. There's also a drive-through to make it more convenient to pick up your items on hold.

Are the Henderson Libraries a department of the City of Henderson?

Henderson Library District is a separate geographic district, much like the Las Vegas - Clark County Library District. What does that mean? We report to a Board of Trustees, five of whom are appointed by the Clark County Commission and two of whom are appointed by the City of Henderson Council. We receive an allocation from property taxes and consolidated taxes (sales, motor vehicle, etc). As a legal subdivision of the state of Nevada, our budget, upon approval of the Board of Trustees, is submitted to the state annually. It is also submitted to both Clark County and the City of Henderson.
The next Board meeting will be held on October 15, 2009 at the Paseo Verde Library, 280 S. Green Valley Parkway, Henderson, NV. Board meetings are open to the public.
