Henderson Libraries
Henderson Libraries was established in 1944 in downtown Henderson after a petition to create the Henderson School Public Library was introduced. Seven years later, its first Children's Summer Reading Program was introduced. Through the years Henderson Libraries has continued to offer innovative children's programming - increasing children's interest in the library both today and into the future. That interest, combined with the growing number of new homes in the community resulted in the purchase and renovation of the library's district's first permanent building. The building program began in February 1953.
In a major overhaul of education laws, the Henderson School Public Library became a county library district in 1956 during a special session of the Nevada Legislature.
The library district's mission through its commitment to each of these essential and equally important core values: Patron Focus, Respect for People, Equitable Service, Freedom of Information, Quality, Integrity, Free Basic Services, Promotion of Services, Freedom to Read, Patron Privacy, Stewardship of Community Resources.
