Brigham City Public Library — Attraction in Brigham City

I’m working on my masters, I have two kids at home and need a place to work without distractions. A few days ago, I was told very rudely that I needed to save my work and get ready to leave. I thought I must’ve done something wrong and over spent my time, but when I looked at my clock, there was more than 10 minutes before closing. Yesterday, again, 10+ minutes before closing I rushed to use the restroom before leaving. They propped opened the restroom door(!) to- I believe rush me out? I was in the restroom for maybe 3-4 minutes total. There is absolutely no reason to treat people this way. I’m respectful, I clean up after myself and others. I’m just trying to work. I’m guessing I’m not the only person they treat this way. Mine, along with every other patrons tax dollars help fund this public service and the librarians need to remember that; we’re a community. Also, since there is going to be more growth in the Brigham City area, they really should consider updating their work hours.

Response: I’m sorry if you misunderstood. I don’t have an issue with your procedure (besides not knowing that it exists), I have a problem with the approach. However, with the same procedural logic, do you also open at 10:15? If not, then, I’m sure you can understand where the confusion comes from. My last piece of advice would be updating your hours to reflect your actual closing time at 5:30 & 8:30 rather than expecting...

I was at the library this past week studying, in preparation for career efforts. The library is typically very quiet and peaceful (from my experience). There were some younger people (teenagers?) that came in and I felt like they were intentionally being rude and distracting (saying F-words for example). I was at the time pondering certain communications related to a lawsuit I have been forced to deal with. There was emotional backing and my voice level became more elevated as I told them (in essence) that I was not happy and felt they were intentionally trying to ruin the peaceful atmosphere. I wished that I had spoken in a more "tame" manner. The group left. I believe a librarian tried to talk to them. A librarian also talked to me.

As the librarian talked to me, they sought understanding and were not backing the communication with threats or intimidation. The library does fine you if you have a late book. I have paid maybe 25 cents to a dollar total (as an estimate) after years of visiting this library and I have had some late books. I want to follow the library rules and wanted to write this review also, because of the fair and...

Great collection for it's small size. Very friendly staff. Would rank higher except the library refuses to hire men. Curiously, men have been locked out of the restroom in the past and made to ask for a key while women had no such procedure. Library also pushes lgbtq agenda with it's young adult collection, so beware, if you are uncomfortable with that.

The building is a neat historical Carnegie library with an unfortunate 80's addition that leaks. Books are frequently stolen as library lacks security. These things are probably the city's fault but contribute to the library's problems. With the library's ability to loan ebooks, the city really should close the library in favor of online lending and use the historical library...
