The West Las Vegas Library opened originally as a storefront on "D" Street in 1973, and later growing to a 16,000+ square-foot, stand-alone branch on West Lake Mead Boulevard in 1989, the new location on North Martin Luther King Boulevard reflects another important milestone in the Library District's service to this neighborhood.
Spanning two stories at 41,000+ square feet, the library's spectacular new home is more than double the size of its predecessor. An architectural gem, it fulfills a goal of significantly increasing opportunities for local residents through robust children's programming, literacy services, interactive technology, job skills development, and cultural celebration.
In addition to offering an Event Center, 3D Printing Lab, the Historical African American Collection, and Digital Memories Preservation Lab, this 41,000-square-foot library houses an all-new collection of 60,000 volumes.
