A reading and book signing featuring contributors to the 2024 Las Vegas Writes project, an annual anthology featuring creative fiction and nonfiction from Vegas-based writers.
"Desert Superbloom: Las Vegas Writers on Scarcity and Abundance" is a collection of original essays, stories, and graphic narratives that imaginatively explores the chasm where locals exist—somewhere between plenitude and impoverishment.
With unique perspectives on blossoming in the luxurious yet resource-starved Sin City, this 15th volume of the annual Las Vegas Writes series features 15 local writers and artists, portraying a place where money is king, water is scant, and affordable housing is even harder to find than love.
Contributing writers include: Jennifer Battisti, Christian Bertolaccini, Safiyya Bintali, Nicole Damon, Melissa Gill, Ana Jimenez, Victoria Koelkebeck, Mark Lenker, Paul W. Papa, Shannon Salter, S.G. Tasz, Cynthia Vespia, Autumn Widdoes, and Staci Layne Wilson. Edited by Jarret Keene.
Join them as they portray Las Vegas—a city founded on flaunting so much, while cherishing so little.
Free and open to the public. Seating is on a first-come, first-served basis and may be limited. For more information call, 702.507.3459.
Event co-sponsored by Nevada Humanities. Las Vegas Writes is a program of Nevada Humanities and published by Huntington Press.

Originally opening in 1966 as a three-room library within the Airport Annex building, the Clark County Library moved in 1967 to a storefront. In 1971, the library moved again to its current location using deeded land from the County and with money awarded by the Max C. Fleishman Foundation. The building went on to have two remodels: one completed in 1986, and the second completed in 1994, which resulted in the three-story, 120,000-square-foot building it is today. This redesign notably included a 399-seat theater and an 80-seat black box theater/dance studio. The Library District also added the Best Buy Teen Tech Center, which provides a place for teens to explore and master new technologies and digital skills.
