Renters who have received an eviction notice can receive free in-person help Saturday at designated library branches.

Legal Aid Center of Southern Nevada is partnering with the Las Vegas-Clark County Library System to host pop-up clinics, where tenants can meet with Legal Aid Center lawyers and volunteers to receive help with online forms and e-filing a response to an eviction notice with the court.

The clinics will be held from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday at Whitney Library, 5175 E. Tropicana Ave., and Clark County Library, 1401 E. Flamingo Road, and on June 12 at the West Las Vegas Library, 951 W. Lake Mead Blvd., and again at Clark County Library.
