No Classes on Friday, October 27th...It's Nevada Day!

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 visiting the display at CSN’s West Charleston campus through the end of October or looking for titles with a blue label. You can also check out our electronic resources, including these highlights!
