Although the library has been in existence since the campus opened in 1974, the library moved to its present location in January 2004. Funds for the project were appropriated by the Nevada Legislature, thanks in large part to the efforts of former Assemblyman Joe Dini of Yerington.

We have a special corner with comfortable seating dedicated to his collection. From the library catalog, doing a keyword search by his last name will retrieve the items in his collection.
