NEW AT THE LIBRARY!
ZOOM ROOMS

These "Zoom ROOMs" are soundproof privacy pods, and you can now find them at several Washoe County Library locations. They are perfect for virtual meetings, online interviews, and other times when a quiet workspace is needed.

Spaces designed for one user are now available at the Downtown Reno, South Valleys, Spanish Springs, and Sparks Libraries, and larger ROOMs with additional technology designed for up to four users can be found at the North Valleys and Incline Village Libraries. An individual ROOM will also be installed during the Sierra View Library renovation.
