WASHOE COUNTY NEWS RELEASE
The Stead Library and three bookmobiles began operating from a site in Stead in 1973. The collection and original staff relocated to its present site in June 1988. Originally named the Peavine Branch Library, a tribute to the striking natural feature in our North Valleys community, it was changed to the North Valleys Library after 10 years to better represent the community it serves.
“It has been our honor to serve this community for the past 40 years,” says Managing Librarian Patti Day. “We thank you for your support and invite you to join us in this celebration.”

- Paws 2 Read 11 a.m. – 12:30 p.m.
