The 16th annual Las Vegas Writes project will launch this year's book with a reading and conversation featuring the writers from the anthology.
Each year since 2009, Nevada Humanities has commissioned Las Vegas writers to contribute to the Las Vegas Writes anthology, and to develop original works addressing a theme connected to Las Vegas. These works are compiled into a book-length volume of stories, essays, and poetry. "Monsoon Season: Las Vegas Writers on Water in the Desert" featured authors include Erika Dagri, Scott Dickensheets, JM Huck, Andrew S. Nicholson, Marlene Roque, Geoff Schumacher, John L. Smith and editor Jarret Keene.
Las Vegas Writes is a program of Nevada Humanities with the support of Huntington Press, and the contributing authors. For more information visit nevadahumanities.org/las-vegas-writes.
Free and open to the public. Seating is on a first-come, first-served basis and may be limited.

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.
