NO CLASSES ON FRIDAY OCTOBER 31…IT’S NEVADA DAY! (and Halloween!)
Nevada is one of only a few states that celebrates itself with an official holiday. Even if you can’t stay home all day, you can still celebrate by checking out a few books on the Silver State!
You can celebrate Nevada Day by checking on the display at the Charleston Campus Library or visiting any of the three campus libraries and looking for books with a blue label.
You can also check out our electronic resources, including these highlights!
