Cute little library in the heart of Sugarhouse. I came here for a La Leche League meeting, which…read morewas held in the basement conference room. I was really impressed by the meeting space. It was large and spacious, very clean, and plenty of chairs. There also appeared to be an overhead projector available. The library is small but has all the basics and the staff is super helpful. They have a decent sized kids section. If you follow your google maps GPS to get here just know there is little to no parking along highland. It's better to park in the shopping center parking lot, which is where the library front doors face anyway.

Definitely not nearly on the same page as the downtown public library. Although you can use the same card for it because they are affiliated. I've returned books here that I checked out downtown and they're very helpful here. 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.

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.

Is this the most amazing library in the country?? I can't imagine a better one. My kids spent 1.5…read morehours in just two of the little alcoves in the kid floor downstairs. It's incredible. 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.

It's a bit like the Cheers bar--"where everybody knows your name." Staff pride themselves on customer service and will always take the time to get to know you and help meet your needs. WiFi is free and fast, with no password needed. There's one small study room you can reserve, a few tables, a small play area for the kids, and 18 public computers. If they don't have what you need, they'll happily find it for you. Be sure to check out all the fun programs and games offered as well.

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.

Dang, you so pretty! I mean, when they build a library, they really build a library. 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.

this one star review is for the people of the Utah utes who come to enjoy this fantastic library…read more Why the FUCK, like actually why the FUCK, would you replace the very fantastic and spacious marketplace with a tiny kiosk Starbucks. First of all Starbucks is 3 dollars on average more expensive for a coffee than the marketplace, this is especially important for college kids who are studying all the time and need some caffeine and they don't have time to work all time so they are broke. Not to mention the food is wayyyy cheaper and affordable, especially for a small snack. NO one wants a 10 dollar 1 square inch breakfast sandwhice. bullshit. Second, the marketplace is quick! it took me about 5 min to walk down to the marketplace from anywhere, get what I want, and be drinking my coffee with a snack in my hand heading back to actual important shit. Starbucks has this stupid mobile order, so not only if you walk up and order something that will take 10 min to get on its own, theres 20 fucking people in front of you with orders of their own. I walked up to a nice lady and asked how long she had been waiting and she had said half an hour and still counting and she mobile ordered.might as well just fucking DoorDash a coffee. Other than that money grabbing decision by this university this library is great. screw your Starbucks gimme my marky back.

It kind of had a venerable look when I attended the school more than a half decade ago. It now looks like it has caught up with the times. The interior was modern with a computer lab on the first floor. Spent a lot of time here for projects and homework. Now it seems more cozy and even a better place to study, though that lab is gone I see. Perhaps a change of the times given the laptop/mobile/Internet world we live in. Still the printed word holds academic resonance and Marriott is the place to gather that material.
