Nevada Legal Services (NLS), which works to strengthen the community by ensuring fairness and providing equal access to justice for low-income Nevadans, has announced the expansion of the Nevada Legal Kiosk Project. Since its statewide launch in summer 2023 with 22 kiosks, the project has added four Legal Kiosks at new library locations.
The user-friendly and free Nevada Legal Kiosks are located in libraries throughout the state and are designed to serve as a portal for Nevadans, providing greater access to the civil legal system for seniors and others lacking adequate access to technology. At a Legal Kiosk, community members can find free legal information and forms, locate legal aid and community resources, print documents, and attend online meetings and remote court hearings.
“The feedback has been tremendously positive,” said Susan L. Myers, Esq., Nevada Legal Services’ Director of Litigation and Project Manager for the Nevada Legal Kiosk Project. “We communicate regularly with the libraries and their staff, and the consensus is that this free access to legal information and resources is filling a gap. Expanding legal kiosk sites to additional libraries was the natural next step to assist even more Nevadans.”
The Nevada Legal Kiosks provide curated and up-to-date information on topics including housing issues, divorce and custody, protection orders, guardianship, health care and financial powers of attorney, debt collection, Social Security, and veterans’ resources.
Nevada Legal Kiosks are now available at 26 library locations statewide (alphabetically by library name, with city or town included in parentheses if not part of the library name), including the Churchill County Library, Fernley Library, Hawthorne, and Silver Springs.
All Nevada Legal Kiosk sites are free and open to the public during individual library branch hours. They are available in English and Spanish and are equipped with printers and scanners.
