Join Sierra Nevada Forums for a screening of the documentary The Librarians, followed by a community conversation with local library leaders. The film explores how librarians across the country are navigating the growing national debate over book access, censorship, and the freedom to read. After the screening, a panel of Carson City librarians will discuss the role libraries play in supporting literacy, education, and open access to information in our communities.

Libraries have long served as gateways to knowledge, literacy, and civic engagement. In recent years, they have also found themselves at the center of a growing national conversation about access to books, information, and intellectual freedom.

Panelists:

Joy Holt, Director, Carson City Library
Dr. Betts Markle, Board Trustee, Carson City Library; President, Friends of the Library
Ananda Campbell, Teacher-Librarian, Carson High School; Lead Librarian, Carson City School District

Moderated by:
Michele Ravera, Host of Morning Edition, KUNR Public Radio

French Dining at its best. Let's enjoy a special dinner together in beautiful Genoa.

MICHAEL is the cinematic portrayal of the life and legacy of one of the most influential artists the world has ever known. The film tells the story of Michael Jackson’s life beyond the music, tracing his journey from the discovery of his extraordinary talent as the lead of the Jackson Five, to the visionary artist whose creative ambition fueled a relentless pursuit to become the biggest entertainer in the world. Highlighting both his life off-stage and some of the most iconic performances from his early solo career, the film gives audiences a front-row seat to Michael Jackson as never before. This is where his story begins.

The Nevada Division of Child & Family Services & Carson City CASA, in partnership with RennerVation Foundation, is proud to present their 4th Annual Walk us Home Run/Walk for foster homes.
This year, we're adding a playful twist: Our theme is Hats On, Hearts Open! Whether silly, colorful, oversized, or your favorite cap, wear your fun hat as you walk or run.
This race is NOT a timed event- We are focused on raising awareness and support for foster kids in our community.
Did you know there are roughly 60 foster homes in rural Nevada for the 400 youth in foster care? Some counties have as many as 14 homes, some counties have as little as 1 or 2. There are even Nevada counties that have no foster homes. When there are not enough foster homes in any given community, children are at risk of being displaced to outside communities, bringing forth a whole new set of challenges and setbacks. Join us in bringing attention to our HUGE need for foster homes, because every child deserves to go home.
All proceeds for this event will go towards the 2026 Camp RennerVation that invites Nevada foster youth to experience an unforgettable summer camp in Lake Tahoe!
Registration includes a race t-shirt and finisher bag. T-shirts come in adult or youth unisex. T-shirts are not guaranteed for participants who register on race week.
