The librarians, especially Ms. Heidi are so kind and good with kids. We don't come nearly as often, but she still remembers my kids.

I haven't yet gotten an actual pass to check out books, but it looks like they have quite a selection. There are conference rooms available for meetings. Library events are always posted on signs very obvious when you walk in so if there's an event you'd like to attend, you'll always have the details! The bathrooms are very spacious and clean. 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!

We recently moved to the area and I took my kids to Storytime in the first week of October. The…read morewoman in charge of story time was quiet and low energy. She was holding a stack of books with no apparent relationship to each other. I kind of assumed there would be a sort of theme, like Autumn or Halloween. Nope. She proceeded to read "Blueberries for Sal" in the driest, most unenthusiastic voice imaginable. It was like the reading of a eulogy. Seriously. No wonder there were only two other stragglers there besides us. When she was finished she got out a pile of papers for a craft. I have no idea what this was supposed to be (see photo). But I DO know that it has been photocopied 750,000 times since it was first made and it was faint and pixelated like an Atari game. Really, how hard can it be to find a perky, animated, woman to read stories once a week? And throw a little craft in there? Besides being the Land of Children, Utah also holds the title Land of Perky, Energetic, Women Who Love Kids. You've got to get yourself together, Davis County Public Library.

I loved this library right up until today. If I could give zero stars I would…read more This library may look beautiful, but how it actually functions is beyond dumb. They canceled storytime for kids. They have a very poor book selection. Honestly, who only has part of a series? This has happened multiple times, and because there is no inter-city library system in Cache Valley, you're just stuck. No other way to get the books you want unless you buy them. So that's really stupid. They also just announced they are putting a hold on allowing holds to be placed on books that are currently on the shelves. This library highly discourages small children anywhere in the library besides the children section. And I mean highly discourages. They won't actually ask you to leave, but they'll get pretty passive aggressive. If you can do multiple other events for teens and above, but can't bother with storytime and make it super hard for working, single, and regular parents to use your library, you're showing your true colors. Libraries are family-friendly. Or at least, they're supposed to be.

This library is NOT bike friendly. No common sense going on here. On a rainy day I parked my loaded…read morebike under the eave so it wouldn't get wet. I was on a bike tour (this means I was traveling by bike since I know you locals don't know about bike tours). The bike was completely out of the way of everyone. Common sense told me not to park it at the rack where the rain would soak my clothing, sleeping bag, etc. 2 hrs and 45 min later one of the staff told me I had to move it because where it was (any place but at the rack) was prohibited. I was informed that my bike was "vandalizing" the BRICK WALL. No lie - she and then the manager actually said this with straight faces. I asked for the manager. She came and the dance had to be played again. When I asked her to show me the damage the best she could do was give me a blank stare. Yet another American moving along in life as a zombie, doing as she's told just so she can have an undeserved pension in 20 yrs. Since she couldn't concieve of following common sense instead of rules, I gathered my things and left. However, while I waited for the rain to subside before taking off on my steed, within 10 minutes of each other, 2 employees came outside to check on me. They pretended to be doing something else, but it was obvious why they'd come out. The 2nd one even lied to me about it. The pretentiousness of this library doesn't match the state of the city it lies in. You'd think these people would have better things to do than to focus all their energy on a bike minding its own business leaning against a BRICK WALL.

The modern design with all the glass and sky high ceilings is genuinely spectacular and makes the space feel open and energizing instead of quiet and stuffy. When I visited on a Saturday morning it was busy, which was actually really nice to see, with people reading, studying, and casually surfing the internet. It felt alive in the best way. I also enjoyed wandering through the different floors where there were interesting exhibits and old books on display that made browsing feel more like exploring. Add in the great views of the valley from the windows and it's easy to imagine spending a lot of time here if I lived nearby.

The library has different floors, beautiful art work, live working bee area, stores, food and a sunny rooftop! I visited during the summer months, so the views- mountains were unbelievable. I highly recommend a visit to all!
