The library has several programs in September, including restarting its movies sponsored by the Friends of the Library.

“Nomadland” will be showing 10 a.m. Wednesday at the Minden Branch. The movie about a woman in her 60s portrayed by Frances McDormand living in a van as she travels the West is rated R and is intended for adults.

The Minden branch will also host the Teen Art Club for teenagers 13-18 years old starting 3-4:30 p.m. Tuesday. The club meets the third Tuesday of each month. Supplies are provided.

The library is offering a personalized, adaptive language-learning program alled Mango, that provides the tools and guidance to expand language skills. Library users may now learn over 70 languages online for free, just by using their Douglas County Public Library card. 

Virtual Reality will be returning to the library weekly 1-5 p.m. Fridays. Sign up for 1-hour time slots is required, but available to both groups and individuals. The VR lab is open to ages 13-plus.
