The Mesquite Library began as a 2,008-square-foot facility in May 1990 and was expanded to 5,464-square-feet in 2012. After a 1.63-acre parcel was donated by the City of Mesquite, a new 13,313-square-foot library was constructed and the former building was converted into the library’s Learning Center, which features the EmployNV Career Hub. The library now houses 29,000 volumes and serves a community of over 21,000 residents.
