Considering how frugal the community is around here, you would hope they would have a better…read moreselection of titles (problem is county-wide) for those that won't go out and buy a book. Also, this building is getting a little dated and instead of smelling like books, it smells like an old lady's closet. Additionally, I take issue with the miniscule size of the windows. Is it night or day? You'll never be able to tell once inside. That being said, I like that is library has a completely different floor for the ankle biters. Put them underground where they belong! I'm glad I don't have to shush them, they can just be kids. The librarians are pretty friendly and helpful. They offer many computers for internet use. They have DVDs, music CDs, current magazines and even a State Parks Pass you can check out. I also like the self check out, makes getting out of there a snap. If you can, sign up for email reminders and online access, it will improve your library life ten-fold! I love supporting the library system and they in turn enjoy my late-fee revenue (albeit a very forgiving grace period at this location.) READ!

We checked out the Salt Lake City Public Library while on vacation in SLC. It's an architectural…read morefeast with 4 stories and natural light pouring in through all the glass! All of the levels and common areas had an abundance of space and tall ceilings! The stairs and elevators were close together and easy to navigate. The Children's Library on the downstairs level was adorable! It brandished childrens' artwork, play tables and many other fun ideas. We ventured through each level and then made our way to the rooftop which had a lot of seating and spectacular views of downtown SLC and its surroundings. The weather was perfect to stay up there and chat for an hour. We also visited the Library Bees- we didn't expect to find Langstroth hives inside a library. This is the coolest library I've been to in the US. If you love books and libraries this is a can't miss experience.

There's an enclosed outdoor area as well, an "attic," so much tactile stuff, even an enclosed play pen for littles with walls of board books. And that's just one of five floors (+ rooftop garden). There are shops and a cafe on the main entrance. They give you two free hours of parking, which will FLY by. Honestly, I could live here.

This library is the nicest one I've been to in Davis County, I can't wait to sign up for my library card. Just need to find the time to get in and get one!

It's modern in that clean, beautiful way where you suddenly feel like a better person just by walking inside. I had time before the show started, so I wandered around pretending I had my life together, which honestly was very believable in that lighting. The staff was so sweet and genuinely helpful. Like not just "here's your answer" helpful, but "I love my job and also hope you have a great day" helpful. Rare and deeply appreciated. There are big windows everywhere, comfy seats, little pockets of calm where you can read, think, or journal about how magical the place is. I would come here even without a performance, just to sit and pretend I'm writing my novel or about to run into someone who's about to change my life. Also, yes, there's a rooftop patio, and yes, it's as dreamy as it sounds. If I lived closer, I'd be here all the time, probably with a lavender tea, trying not to romanticize everything but definitely failing.

SLC Library…read morepeeps have already proven that with the downtown wonder, but even though this lil' guy is just a wee one, doesn't mean they didn't make it nice, because they really made something wonderful. I was looking to plan a meeting and as a card carrying member, I remembered that they let you book rooms here for free with your library account. We grabbed one of the study rooms, booked it out several days in advance, and had a really productive time. You can only book two hour blocks total, but how handy is that? The library itself is beautiful inside and out, with stories worth of stories (see what I did there?). The room we were in was on the second story, but now that they're building that massive structure to the north, the northerly views are obstructed. Still, that second story has an outdoor deck area that looks like it would amazing in better weather. Kudos to SLC Library for planting this in the up-and-coming Marmalade District and making it a fixture for years to come.

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!

Also lots of resources when you walk in the front such as City Weekly but also local non profits that helps out in different areas. A really wonderful library that is just the cutest most historic library I've seen yet! I wouldn't be surprised if it was the oldest library in Utah.
