Black History Month is a valuable time to pause and reflect. Our team takes pride in diversity and believes donation has no boundaries. Nevadans of all races register to be organ, eye and tissue donors. They make second chances at life possible. Our community partners make our mission possible. Meet Executive Director at the Las Vegas-Clark County Library District, Kelvin Watson. He is an integral part of our partnership which brings awareness to organ, eye and tissue donation. Under Kelvin’s leadership, the Las Vegas-Clark County Library district is supporting our mission by providing education to adults and children about donation. He shared, “Throughout my career in librarianship and public service, I’ve been driven by a simple belief; institutions like libraries exist to strengthen communities and improve lives. I’ve had the privilege of leading library systems across the country, and in every role, collaboration has been essential to creating meaningful impact. Our partnership with Nevada Donor Network reflects that same philosophy. By working together, we’ve been able to use the library’s trusted presence and broad reach to help share critical information about organ, eye, and tissue donation through the Howl the Owl children's books available at all of our branches. It’s incredibly meaningful. Supporting Nevada Donor Network’s mission aligns with the values of the Library District, compassion, education and service. Knowing that our efforts can help raise awareness and potentially save lives is deeply humbling. Libraries are about more than books; they’re about connection, hope and opportunity. Being part of a mission that quite literally gives people a second chance at life is something I’m very proud of, both personally and professionally. Registering as a donor is a generous and impactful decision. One donor can save and heal multiple lives, offering hope to families who are waiting for a miracle during some of their most difficult moments.” Inspired by the ways Kelvin gives back?
