Friends of Henderson Libraries

Friends of Henderson Libraries is the nonprofit support arm behind youth programming at Henderson Libraries, connecting kids and teens with literacy focused and recreational activities across the district. The organization backs Story Time sessions for younger children along with a Summer Reading Challenge that runs through the season, plus Library Labs, Book Clubs, and Craft Workshops for a range of ages. Teens have their own track through the Teen Volunteer Program and Teen Advisory Board, and the libraries also host Gaming Events for kids who want a more social, screen based option.

The mix of programs spans early literacy for the youngest visitors up through leadership opportunities for teens, which means a family can typically find something at this branch regardless of a child's age or interest level, from a picture book story time to a seat on the Teen Advisory Board.

The listed hours cover the branch at 280 S Green Valley Pkwy: Monday through Wednesday from 9 in the morning to 8 at night, and Thursday through Saturday from 9 to 5. The branch is closed on Sunday. It operates year round rather than seasonally.

Programming is built for ages 5 through 18, split into a 5 to 12 group and a 13 to 18 group, so families can look for activities matched to their child's age bracket rather than a single all ages event. All of the programs and services here are free, which fits the library's mission of open public access.

The branch notes physical accessibility as part of its special needs accommodations, which is worth checking directly if a family needs specific supports beyond that. Amenities include reading areas, computer access, meeting rooms, event spaces, and digital resources, all available to program participants and general visitors alike.

Families with questions about specific event dates, registration for the Teen Advisory Board, or the current Summer Reading Challenge details can call (702) 492-6592. The library's programming is conducted in English.
