Library Square — Attraction in Salt Lake City

This is the best library I’ve ever been to by far!! First, the architecture is stunning. Every angle that you see it, from the outside AND the inside, is simply breathtaking! Second, their selection of books, movies, music, games, etc goes above and beyond any public library I’ve ever been to. If you can think of it, they probably have it. Third, if you have children, this library is bursting with opportunities for learning and play for them. They also have a program where they give snacks to kids between lunch and dinner in an effort to address child hunger in our community. The kids area is in the lowest level, which is brilliant because it allows the children to be as loud as they want without echoing throughout the rest of the building- but it doesn’t feel like a dark and creepy basement because they have these huge floor to ceiling glass walls that let in the natural light. There’s a forest-themed puppet play room, giant cheese boards, lounge areas with computers and iPads, and so much more. I believe there are several STEM and arts programs that kids can attend for free!

I’m happy to have this resource available to me and my community. Thank you...

The festival goes on for another day so if you haven't been yet you can go on Sunday. Today it closed at 11:00 PM and on Sunday it...

The children's room is full of games and materials. It seems to be one of its strong points. If you're passing through Salt Lake City and you like books, a stop here is highly...
