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!

Holds from other branches vary in the time they take to show up, but if it's available at the time you reserve it, it doesn't take but 48-72 hours to show up at Herriman's branch. Most of the libraries are phenomenal - super helpful, personable, and knowledgable. There are one or two I've encountered who are super quick to add fees to your library account (like when I pointed out a children's book had damage that we didn't do, she tried to charge me for the book) but they're the rare exception. We loved all the precautionary measures this branch did during COVID to make patrons feel safer. It was like Christmas when they opened up curbside pickup during COVID and like coming home when they opened their doors again. We love our public library!

There's so much wonder and awe packed into those places and regardless of which library I visit, I feel the same feeling. I stopped by this one for an event-a community book club. How appropriate right?! We had a private reserved room for our discussion and could see the bookshelves through the glass wall. It was perfect! This library, as I'm sure many do, had a section for children, teens and adults. That makes it nice for people to browse age-appropriate books and maybe make some friends while they are here.

It was kind of weird to see a sharps containers in the bathroom, but I can understand why they would have that, given a need for it. It's kind of a small library, but I may not have found most areas of the building. The library was nice and clean and bright, despite the gloomy weather outside.

He came right back out and informed me that the librarian at the desk stopped him on his way in the door and told him he couldn't use the bathroom unless his parents were checking out books. This was a kid, not a homeless man! And I was on my way in just a couple minutes. I've also checked out a chapter book from a different branch that already had very minor water damage to the pages- not a big deal at all. But when I returned it to the Draper location I was sent an email informing me that because I'd returned it in damaged condition I had been charged the full price of the book. It wasn't even my water damage!

Best library around! Aside from excellent collections of books (the sci-fi, travel and youth…read morecollections are especially good), the Sandy Library is really like s a community center versus just a library these days. One can check out telescopes, use 3D printers, get personal meeting rooms and more. The library programa are constant and extremely well put together, catering to kids (reading clubs, parties) to teens (D&D, cosplay) to adults (book clubs, art exhibits). On top of all this, it's beautifully decorated! Only occasional problems are those stemming from people bringing their cell phone conversations into the library and talking out loud.

The staff are so friendly and helpful to the community and I am so grateful that students have more opportunities to perform and share their talents at the public library.

We can see that she makes a difference in the educational programs for children here!

When I was growing up all my local library had was books! My how things change. When you walk into the new and improved library you are welcomed by the library staff which then opens to a huge open space with big bright windows. Not the small cramped dark library of yesterday... Classes are also available and change monthly along with author book readings. Actually they is so much to enjoy I can't put it all in a review. Go check it out for yourself. It's open. One last thing, this branch (like West Jordan's) has the automatic check in so you don't have to wait for someone to check in your items, especially if they are due that day.

Today, or perhaps it's just this particular library, there are so many kids running around, crying babies, and so much noise! It almost felt like I was at Walmart without the groceries! Depending on who you ask for help, but most just sit around and point you to places without giving proper direction or information. I don't know his name, but he was the only man working there and practically gave me a mini tour of the place! Not only can you borrow books, you can borrow DVDs, CDs, and play online games on the computer. Oh yea, the guy also showed me how to check out! Remember I told you it's been years? Well now you stack your books/DVDs/CDs and the scanner will read all the barcodes at once. Mind. Blown. Hahaha. When you do come in here to get a library card, make sure you bring a photo ID and proof of your current address to get registered. I got a temporary card so I can only borrow up to 3 items and return them within 21 days. You can print out a receipt for a reminder to return them.
