    Getting ready to watch a concert. Great venue!

    I hadn't realized that CC Libraries were designed for performance art-- that it isn't an afterthought. That explains the brilliant sound quality. I'm impressed and will attend more performances.

    Entrance to Paul C. Blau Theater at Clark County Library
    Jacqui C.

    This review is for the library's theater area (called Paul C. Blau Theater), where I had my annual singing recital here. Our recitals were previously held at Family Music Centers on Sahara and Buffalo, but apparently they are closing and moving to a different location, and their new location does not have a theater. My voice coach held her recitals here many moons ago, way before my time with her, actually. The recital took place on a Saturday morning, which happened to be on my parents' anniversary, so I wanted to make my performance extra special for them, plus one song that I was singing was my anniversary gift to them. Our past recitals didn't start until later in the afternoon, but the entire theater was booked up that day, except for an 11:30am time slot. When I walked in, they were selling tickets at the door, which was confusing because our recital was free of charge, then I was told that there was a separate dance recital going on in the same building (tickets were required to enter that recital), but in the library's main theater. Paul C. Blau theater was downstairs to the left. Myself and my peers did an excellent job performing our musical numbers. Afterwards, we all celebrated with cookies that my voice coach made herself. The acoustics were excellent and overall it's just a great theater for any occasion. It was also nice to not hear loud music blaring and muffled yelling from behind me, which was the case at Family Music Centers, which was next door to a laser tag place. The restrooms here at the library were neat and tidy, too! The only downside of the library is that there were a bunch of homeless people hanging out on the sidewalk and near the entrance that brings you to the theater. I drove there by myself as I was meeting my entire family and peers inside. I was dressed nice for the recital, so I was concerned walking to the theater alone with nobody else around me. Thankfully nothing questionable happened to me, but for my safety, I made sure to go on the other side of the street and cross back when I reached the parking lot when leaving the library.

    Clark County Library is a popular spot in Las Vegas for books, movies, and community events. It's got plenty of space to study, relax, or just browse for something new to read. They also host cool events like author talks, workshops, and live performances for all ages. They've also done a decent job cleaning out the loitering and homeless in the parking lot and side. Today at least.

    My friend invited me to go with her to a free show at Clark County Library. It was my first visit there, and not only was I super impressed with the show, but also the library itself. It is huge and has features like an art exhibit, huge info walls, a large theater (where we attended the show), a teen center, etc. There are three stories, and I was only on the first floor, so I'd love to see the rest of the library. I was already impressed with the first floor, though! They also have a young kids area. My friend's husband had taken their toddler to the library play area, and he said that it was nice and their toddler enjoyed it. I plan to bring my toddler to the young kids area sometime in the future. It looks like this library also has tons of really cool events happening all the time, which is great for the community. The only reason I gave this library four stars instead of five was because of how it handles the homelessness issue in the immediate vicinity. As a county facility, you'd think they'd try harder to offer better options/solutions for the people who find themselves in these situations. I'd imagine each person has their own unique story and reason for being where they are. Why not start by trying to figure out what those stories and reasons are if the people are literally living there in tents, in the library, etc.? Once you figure out why they're there, you can know the right way to help each of them (solutions are going to look different for each person based on the reasons, be it reasons related to the economy, drugs, mental health, etc.). If you don't know the reasons, you'll waste resources attempting to fix the wrong thing. I hope the county can begin to figure out how to tackle this issue at its own facilities!

    Excellent library and theatre on East Flamingo Rd. The library itself is a very large, multi level structure. The theatre is also a larger than expected venue that can probably accommodate in the area of 150 or more...the theatre is very nice and has excellent sound as well. There are numerous events held here, most of which are free, ranging from cinema to performance art to live music...the "bookstore" inside of the library is also an outstanding place to purchase used books, magazines, CD's and DVD's, at greatly reduced prices...the hours for the bookstore are somewhat sketchy so check before you head there...the performance on a Friday evening after the library was closed for the night was exceptional, unfortunately it wasn't very well advertised as the theatre was close to empty...the amount of homeless that are now in the area is also of concern, during the day the security does a good job of keeping the area safe, after hours spoke otherwise....that aside this is still a very good place to visit for a myriad of reasons....RECOMMEND

    Went for the first time today. Spent a few hours reading, using the computer lab and checking out the theater. Excellent customer support staff, clean restrooms FREE filtered water (bring a water vessel), feee WiFi although I had connection issues so I utilized my personal hotspot. Definitely recommend you visit!

    Love this library. They have so much to offer the community. They offer monthly presentations about Art, Entertainment, History and Literature. I attended the "40th Anniversary of Donn Arden's Jubilee" It was held in the main theater just off to the side of the front entrance. There's a bit of parking on the side road, but main parking is to the back of the building. The theater is very beautiful and temperature wise.. felt amazing as that day it was close to 117* outside at 2pm! The panel consisted of two retired Showgirls 'Janet Spelman' and 'Tricia Leibovici with costume designer/assistant to Mr. Arden 'Diana Eden' Love hearing their stories about performing onstage and offstage. Great history there! And Diana Eden had intimate details as to how each costume was constructed rhinestone by rhinestone, feather by feather. Fascinating! Met up with some fellow performers who attended and also met a few performers for the first time. Even though we all performed on the strip, we didn't always run into to each other, so was a good time! Lots of upcoming events for August. Check the Clark County Library District website for more info. Located at East Flamingo just east of Maryland PKWY on the SE side.

    If you're one of the people writing a review to say this library is great but you wish it were in a better area of town, sit down. You're missing the point entirely. This library is exactly what it's meant to be: a huge asset to the community in the area. Free wifi, computer usage, community events showcasing the arts, childrens and adult activities, adult skills training, and a treasure trove of books and media. I've only been a couple of times, and while their literary selection is expansive (there are three floors of books here!), it's the community events I come for- there is a theater that puts on concerts and performances, with flyers posted in the lobby and promoted on their website. Everything from big band to belly dance to master gardening classes and hula demos, they've got it all. Check out their online calendar (there's often multiple events a day) and come by.

    Though we are not residents, my wife and I have visited this library countless times most recently to attend the Las Vegas Pipe Band's annual Celtic Thanksgiving show. The facility is intimate with most if not all seats having a good view of the large stage. The acoustics for this show were just good, not great, but I am not sure if issue rests with the facility or the performers. We parked on Escondido St facing the auditorium's entrance though most attendees availed themselves of the larger lot immediately behind the library. A listing of upcoming events is available on the library's website.

Whenever I've had a question at the front desk or needed help checking something out, I've never had to wait long. One of the best things about this location is the self-checkout system. It's super easy to use ... you don't even have to scan each book, DVD, or video game individually. Just place everything on the scanner and it checks everything out at once. They also have a great selection of PS5, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch games, which is something a lot of people probably don't realize libraries offer. The DVD selection is solid too. It gives me a little nostalgia of walking through Blockbuster back in the day. Instead of paying for streaming services all the time, I'd definitely recommend supporting your local library. I usually reserve my books, movies, or games online, and they notify me when they're ready. I just stop by, pick them up, and check out. The whole process is really smooth. One time they even called me quickly to let me know I accidentally returned my own video game with the library items, which I really appreciated. Renewing items online is also super easy. As long as nobody else has requested the item, they usually let you renew it without any issues. I personally don't stay long enough to study or hang around, so I can't really speak on the noise level like some reviews mention and rude employee interactions. For what I use it for ... quick pickups and returns, it has been perfect. The parking lot is spacious, and they even have 3D printers available for public use, which is pretty cool. You can also renew passports here, so the library really offers a lot more services than people realize. I've been to multiple libraries in the valley, including the Sahara location, and this library has consistently been one of the easiest and nicest ones I've been to.

    Library has so great features for 3D printing, computer lab and access to printers, private rooms,…read moretables with charging ports, chairs with pull out desk near charging ports, children's area and more.

My company sponsors it, so I brought thank you gifts for donors. The Red Cross staff is kind and gracious. I didn't take any photos inside the blood drive for privacy reasons, but it was full of exceptional members of our community set on saving lives. Whenever I visit Centennial Hills Library I always check out the book store, and it never disappoints. I usually get children's books to donate to the Obodo library. This time the books were for me though. I have that Kamala Harris book "The Truths We Hold" in my Amazon cart right now. That's so fun. It would have cost me a lot more than the $1 I paid here. Plus, proceeds go back to the library, so win! As I walked around snapping pictures, the staff wanted me to tell you some things. The gentleman monitoring the resource room invites everyone to come in. He's ready with computers, homework help, and more. The ladies at the desk by the hydroponics said this is actually an adult ed class and you will create hydroponics to take home. They said to come out and take part. The cashier at the entrance to the media section offered that there are so many great titles to choose from in the book store. I couldn't agree more. She added that it's a good idea to stop by first when you're think of shopping for books. In all it was a lovely visit and a beautiful day at the blood drive.

    Yelp! review #50 of 2025…read more We come to Centennial Hills Library about once a month for a wonderful writing workshop that the library graciously hosts (huge thank-you to the staff for making that happen every time!). Plenty of free parking, the building is always spotless, feeling very safe and secure - there's even a security guard keeping an eye on the common areas. Public restrooms are surprisingly clean and well-stocked. There's a little vending machine nook perfect for grabbing a quick drink or snack between chapters. The workshop room is comfortable and quiet, and we love checking the events calendar ahead of time because there's almost always something else cool going on (story time, author talks, craft events) that we can pair with our workshop day. This branch is a hidden gem in the northwest - welcoming, well-maintained, and community-focused. We always look forward to our monthly visit and can't recommend it enough!
