Join us to celebrate the start of the Chinese New Year and to bring a little luck your way! Make and take home a Lucky Dragon, a Maneki-neko (or Lucky Cat), and a "Year of the Snake" magnet.
This year the Lunar New Year (also known as a Chinese New Year or the Spring Festival) starts on Wednesday, January 29 and celebrates the beginning of a new year as well as the arrival of spring. Based on the phases of the moon and the 12 year cycle of the Chinese zodiac, it lasts 15 days. This year marks the end of the Year of the Dragon and the beginning of the Year of the Snake. Considered the most important holiday in China, the Lunar New Year is also widely celebrated in Mongolia, Korea, Vietnam, and in many other parts of the world. Festivities include feasts, fireworks, and, most importantly, family (immediate and extended).
Our Crafternoons are a great way to rediscover your creative spark plus these easy crafts are a great way to relieve stress.
The program is free and open to the public while supplies last.

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.
