The Las Vegas-Clark County Library District is offering several events and exhibits for January at various locations around the valley:

The Nevada Chamber Symphony will be presenting Strings Sing Opera and More in the main theater at the Clark County Library at 1401 E. Flamingo Road, Las Vegas. The event will take place Sunday, January 18 at 3:00 p.m. for adults and seniors.

An afternoon of Readers Theatre at the West Las Vegas Library at 951 W. Lake Mead Blvd., Las Vegas, will introduce both well-established and new literary works and playwrights. For adults and seniors at 2:00 p.m. on Saturday, January 24.

January is Nevada Scottish Heritage Month and all ages are welcome at the Scottish Céilidh at the Clark County Library. On Saturday, January 31st at 7:00 p.m., enjoy an evening of Scottish dancing and fiddling.

The Regional Transportation Commission of Southern Nevada has raised bus fares starting today. Standard fares, which were $1.25, have jumped to $1.75, the monthly full fare pass has gone up $15 a month, but the 30-day pass remains unchanged at $25.

Many residents are baffled by the 40% hike, which was approved back in November, given an economy that has many looking for jobs and in which even fifty cents per ride requires a little extra budgeting.

Over 30 bus routes are also seeing changes or have been eliminated completely. The RTC site has a full list of stops and routes that have been affected, including time changes and stop frequencies.

For questions and concerns call (702) 228-RIDE.
