Join Sarasota, Florida, editor and veteran postcard collector Liz Coursen as she illustrates the history of Nevada using museum-quality postcards to tell the tale.
Come take an exciting trip—a trip back in time—from the days when Nevada was a trackless desert in the early 1900s through its transformation into an international destination for gambling and easy divorces in the 1940s. Join Sarasota, Florida, editor and veteran postcard collector Liz Coursen as she illustrates how Nevada progressed from ox carts to McCarran Field, from small-town gin joints to glamorous hotels filled with movie stars, crooners, and gorgeous showgirls, using lively, museum-quality postcards to tell the tale.

Designed by HAS Architects, the Rainbow Library originally opened as a storefront in 1985. In March 1994, the library moved to its present 26,800-square-foot facility. Located northwest in the city, just off I-95, this location serves its active residents with over 70,300 volumes and features an outdoor amphitheater.
