Don't my taxes support the University Libraries?

Answer: 

UNLV is partially subsidized by state tax dollars for the purpose of providing higher education, but the University, and by extension the University Libraries, is not supported directly by local tax dollars. The levy on your property taxes supports your local public library system (Las Vegas/Clark County Library District, North Las Vegas Library District, Henderson Public Library District or the Boulder City Library).

I am a UNLV graduate. Do I have any privileges beyond those of a guest user?

Answer: 

If you are a member of the UNLV Alumni Association, you continue to be affiliated with the University. Please inform a staff member at the Library's Circulation Desk of your Alumni Association status upon registering. Your UNLV Alumni ID card can be used as your Library Card. Your record will reflect that status and you will be extended the appropriate Alumni Association Library privileges.
