Things to do on Tuesday around Carson City: Head to the polls, the library, and the hills

If you didn’t take advantage of early voting, then today is the day to cast that Primary ballot. The local library can be your best friend during summer vacation; Carson City celebrated the kick-off to their summer program on Sunday, while the library in Minden will host a party this evening to get the summer events started. The State Library and Archives have started a new lunchtime program. Join them for Archives Appetizer, a monthly speaker program that will cover different topics of Nevada History. Muscle Powered features two guided hikes on Tuesdays. Today, partake in a morning stroll along the Mexican Dam Trail or choose the more strenuous evening hike along Sedge Road, off Goni.
