Free educational programs ranging from Nevada wildlife and Shakespeare to job interview skills and children's story times will fill the Churchill County Library's July calendar as the library continues its Summer Reading Program and seasonal activities.
Among the month's featured events is a presentation by the Nevada Department of Wildlife (NDOW) at 2 p.m. July 21. Participants will learn about wildlife commonly found in Nevada's high desert and how to safely live alongside native animals.
The library also welcomes the return of Young Shakes, the youth outreach program of the Lake Tahoe Shakespeare Festival, at 4 p.m. July 28. Young Shakes will present an adaptation of "Macbeth" designed to introduce younger audiences to one of William Shakespeare's classic tragedies.
Two local authors also will visit the library during July. Michael Oka will discuss writing and publishing at 6 p.m. July 14, followed by Megan Ross at 6 p.m. July 28. A life skills workshop focused on interviewing for entry-level jobs will be offered at 4 p.m. July 2 for teens, young adults, and others entering the workforce.
Summer Reading Program participants have until July 31 to log their reading for a chance to earn prizes. Weekly offerings also continue throughout the month, including Baby Story Time, children's story times, STEAM activities, Reading with Rover, Chess Club, Game Night, Bad Art, Elementary Book Club, and the "1,000 Books Before Kindergarten" literacy initiative.
Adults will find several opportunities to participate as well. Activities include the lunchtime book club, crafting workshops, a beginner gift-wrapping class, History by the Numbers, Spice Club, and constituent office hours hosted by a representative from U.S. Sen. Jacky Rosen's office.
Beyond its programs, the library continues to offer public computers, meeting rooms, online research databases, downloadable e-books, audiobooks, streaming movies, language-learning resources, and a fine-free borrowing policy. Library cards are available at no cost to qualifying Nevada residents and active-duty military personnel.
