As a primary economic driver and working to achieve benefits for individuals, agencies, businesses, visitors and the community-at-large, a reinvented Carson City Library and Performing Arts Complex could become a dynamic, interactive local and visitor point of contact and resource center, with a mission to:
• Support arts and culture programming an
initiatives
• Offer early literacy services that contribute to long-
term economic success
• Embrace the role as the first point of entry for
patrons to new technology
• Provide access to computers, Internet and media
products
• Help small businesses contribute to the safety,
success and stability of Downtown Carson City.
Did you know last year more than a quarter of a million people took advantage of services at the Carson City Library? Last year the library checked out 278,071 books and 54,831 videos, DVDs and audio books. There were 17,737 hours of use of the public Internet computers. 4551 children attended programs that encouraged them to become better readers. 838 adults attended an array of dynamic and vibrant cultural programming at the Carson library, all provided free of charge.
All over the country the public library is becoming know as the “third” place, the place beyond home and work where anyone is welcome. The future of the Carson City Library is very exciting; we welcome and embrace any opportunity to help make the City the best it can be.
