I recently got a library card and am getting back into reading. The Pleasant Grove library has been…read moregreat! They have a wonderful selection of books. I love the display of the new adult books as well. It's easy to locate books with the author last name and I love that they put a sticker with what type of book it is as well. The employees are helpful and friendly as well. I love the fact you can also access audiobooks!

I love this Little cute library! It has a small town feel. On the smaller side, but mighty! We…read morelove renting movies from here. They have a pretty good collection of new movies and If you sign up for emails, they will email you when they have new movies to rent. Every time we come into this little gem, the staff is always so friendly and helpful. They are operating limited hours right now due to COVID19, but they make sure their limited hours are posted on their website's front page. When you do return movies and books, the only way their taking it back is the drop box behind the library. They are not taking any returns inside. In addition, they are not taking any cash for payment for any late fees at this time due to the pandemic. What I also love about this library is sometimes they have donated bread at the entrance, free to anyone who might need it. At this time I don't think anyone is allowed to sit and stay (and play) inside, so they labeled their hours as "Grab & Go" while they are open. I have looked into their digital selection, and it would be nice if they can expand it. I've put in a few requests for movies that they do not have, but have not received any response as to them making any effort of carrying it. Room for growth!

I love the Orem public library with all my heart! I have spent many hours here over the years…read morestarting when I was a very young child - I got my first library card at the age of four. The selection of books here is wonderful! They have a lot to offer and are always updating the collection. Not only do they offer books of all kinds but the Orem library also has lots of extra collections including board games (free to borrow!), video games, movies, and an impressive "makers space" in the basement. We love the community events and children's activities that they offer. This will always be a favorite place of mine!

great service. I have transportation problems…read more Just moved here from Florida. I love that I can get online on the catalog and choose the books I want to read. my daughter can drive there return by checked out books and pick up the fresh batch. it is a lovely library and I wish I could visit more. I am elderly, cannot drive, and don't know how to find my way around. So I love that I can easily read as much as I want.

The Library has moved to the new Lehi Civic Center at 131 N 100 E…read more It's a bit confusing to be honest as it's separated into 3 sections on 2 different floors. The first floor is the adult section. The second floor has a children's section and a young adult section that didn't appear to be connected. It's very basic and nearly hard to navigate. When we walked in downstairs, I couldn't understand why it was so small and only older books. I looked for some type of map before asking where the children's room was and was informed it was as upstairs. I was disappointed that there was only one library catalog computer per section and a line at the children's one. In the children's it's separated by picture books, board books, children's books and youth non fiction. But at the end of each aisle there is no indication what alphabet or numeral numbers the books go by. I've never seen a library like this that is so confusing. It took us quite some time to locate all the different books my daughter wanted. Although the children's section is cute and filled with fun cubbies in the wall to relax and read a book, it felt loud, chaotic and small. Many books were checked out, or ebooks only. And was the same for a few I searched for. It doesn't appear the offer more than 1 of most of the books. As we were leaving I noticed another section of books across from the children's room that were for Young Adults. Maybe once I get to understand the system more and the layout it'll make more sense. But for the first time visitor I was confused and unimpressed.

I have read three previous reviews, I can't say I had anything that bad happen to me. I have…read morechecked out movies for a dollar a week, then had to pay late fees. The receptionist told me fines go toward buying new books, which I can support more than paying Blockbuster fines to a corporation back in the day. Book selection is fine for me, I still haven't finished the ones on my list. My 7 year old daughter loves to go and get books to read. I had to buy one replacement that was lost. They were understanding but they do enforce the deadlines. I have used their computers to print things out and that was helpful, you just need to have a library card and your account can't owe too much money in fines. I have been able to use USB drives with no problem. I do wish they had extended hours of operation. My current occupation requires long long hours, and it is rare that I can make it in to check anything out. It is awesome they have an outdoor book drop so you can return books on your schedule. It would be cool if they had a separate floor for grown-ups so that the noise from the children doesn't distract your concentration. When I build my own library.... All in all, a good value for the price (FREE!)

Library leadership is self-absorbed, complacent and only concerned about their own well-being. They…read moreare not interested in advancing the people they are responsible for leading. They are unaware of employee strengths and prefer staff "remain in their lane". They make little to no investment in getting to know employees. Leadership claims to have an open-door policy (come and talk) but what ensues is an excuse or dismissiveness with those who ask or bring forward potential problems. They provide little to no feedback and disregard problems, while micromanaging staff without understanding their needs for the job.

This is a great library. My kids love going to the library. There are a lot of great books, fun…read moreactivities planned for different age groups throughout the week, kind and knowledgeable staff, and plenty of computers available for use. It isn't very large, so if you are hoping to sneak away into a private corner to do work, then you will find there aren't a lot of hiding places. The younger children's book area is separate, which helps contain much of the noisier patrons in one place, since littles aren't very good at whispering. If you really need more quiet, you can either reserve the private room available, or just wear noise-canceling headphones. If I am studying, I will often pull up some classical music to study by on YouTube and listen with my headphones while doing my studying. This way I am not distracted by anyone else who may be near by. As with all libraries, it maintains a level of quiet, but it won't be dead quiet like in a university library. After all, this is a community library that caters to families...which includes children. I love seeing kids at the library! It's a good place for our next generation of leaders to hang out.

I'm from California, but every time I visit Utah, I try to make time for the Provo City Library…read more Honestly, it's one of my favorite places in Provo. There's a quiet reverence in this place that makes it perfect for just sitting and reading--or even pretending to read while you enjoy the stillness. They've also got a little used book section where you can buy books for super cheap, which I appreciate since I can't exactly get a library card here. And their digital collection through Libby is part of the Beehive Consortium, which seems to have way more audiobook and eBook options than my own Sacramento County Library back home. Major bonus.

I love that we can download e-books and periodicals online too. I was very impressed with the South Jordan Branch Library. it is part of a much larger county organization and we can enjoy books and other entertainment from all community branches. Not only does it have extensive resources and events, but it is beautifully decorated as you can see by the pictures below. Staff are knowledgeable and courteous, and we enjoyed browsing through music, book, and even DVDs. An extensive calendar of events is also available for the community to take advantage of. If you haven't gotten your library cards, go to any local branch and they will have you ready in under five minutes. Just bring a form of ID and proof of residency, like a utility bill. They said even my four-year-old granddaughter can get a card with an adult. Stop by soon and let me know what you think!

Best library around! Aside from excellent collections of books (the sci-fi, travel and youth…read morecollections are especially good), the Sandy Library is really like s a community center versus just a library these days. One can check out telescopes, use 3D printers, get personal meeting rooms and more. The library programa are constant and extremely well put together, catering to kids (reading clubs, parties) to teens (D&D, cosplay) to adults (book clubs, art exhibits). On top of all this, it's beautifully decorated! Only occasional problems are those stemming from people bringing their cell phone conversations into the library and talking out loud.
