CSN Libraries will be closed on Monday, June 19 th to commemorate Juneteenth, the historical end of slavery. This news comes this week from CSN’s Office of the President in response to the State of Nevada officially signing into law that Juneteenth is now a state holiday. Though the Emancipation Proclamation was signed in 1863 declaring the abolition of slavery, it wasn’t until two years later that Union soldiers rode into Texas to communicate this news on June 19, 1865. Today, we celebrate this day to honor and remember the struggle and achievements of so many generations of African Americans
