I'm from California, but every time I visit Utah, I try to make time for the Provo City Library…read more Honestly, it's one of my favorite places in Provo. There's a quiet reverence in this place that makes it perfect for just sitting and reading--or even pretending to read while you enjoy the stillness. They've also got a little used book section where you can buy books for super cheap, which I appreciate since I can't exactly get a library card here. And their digital collection through Libby is part of the Beehive Consortium, which seems to have way more audiobook and eBook options than my own Sacramento County Library back home. Major bonus.

Last year my son and I went there to get papers notarized the lady was so polite we just walked in…read moreand the lady was so nice no appointment and it was free! We go in this year same woman this time she screams HELLO informs us that it's usually by appointment only we let her know we couldn't come back because we were moving out of state she was just sitting there eating candy! Refused to help us WOW what a difference a year makes

i love this library! my sister lives down here and I take my kids here for fun and do some of the…read moreactivities! one thing I would suggest is that you guys do sign ups for your activities. My child McMicheal tried to do one of the activities where you make a goodie bag and he didn't get anything because y'all were out of stuff. If you make people sign up you will know EXACTLY how much you will need! Also I noticed a ton of little children in there even though the activity was 9+! Just some suggestions!

This library is amazing! I love that I can reserve holds online & use the Libby app. There's great…read moreevents for all and if you request a book/item to be added it's highly likely that they will. They also offer a variety of book sales too!

I love this library and the wonderful staff! It's never crowded, the kids' area is adorable, and…read morethey always have great book recommendations. If they don't have a title, they'll track it down and have it sent here--super helpful!

I've gotten some great studying done here and also watched many Barbie videos in between homework…read moreassignments. Productivity and joy can definitely be felt here but I can't give it 5 stars because no men have come up to and me asked me on a date while I've been in the building. That just doesn't sit well with me...what also doesn't sit well with me is 2 oatmeal creme cookies from the vending machine in a row. My own fault but also...they enabled me. Don't study on the 2nd floor unless you want everyone to stare when you walk by with your rolly backpack. I recommend the 3rd floor if you want to study but not feel self conscious about any and every noise you make. I've made so many fun memories here... more than I probably should have

Wonderful facility with a great staff and extensive collections…read more The HBLL has specialist librarians for soft and hard sciences and the humanities. Come for research help, research materials, art exhibits, lectures, quiet study, collaborative study, or whatever.

This is actually the Utah County Bookmobile repository, not a city library even though officials…read moreand residents think they own it.

What I like about Count Dracula and the Count of Monte Cristo (who invented the sandwich btw) is…read morethat they're both... well, very... County. But when Utah all the counts with the same brush then you assume they are all County. It could be worse. I could have forgotten the "o" in County. Although it's not very diverse, Utah is very beautiful and unspoiled, and it's a lovely and surreal area to visit, located herre up in the mountains, a gorgeous and populated gem after hundreds of miles of wilderness in any direction. It's sort of a miracle when you come across this Valley with a bunch of people living here, by Utah standards it may as well be Los Angeles. It's very beautiful and very much worth a visit. And unlike anywhere else in the country really, despite having some things in common with its neighbours such as Colorado, Nevada, Wyoming and Arizona.

I think we still have a ways to grow in separating church and state here and also being a little…read moremore open minded. However, I can't think of anywhere else I'd rather live. Utah county has it all; industry, technology, culture, family oriented, safe, tourism galore, beauty at every turn. Cities are mostly ran well, government is not as corrupt as elsewhere and politicians are often your neighbors. Where else can you drive for 1 hour and be in salt flats, desert, sand dunes, mountains and lakes, fishing, hunting, etc. Add in the year round warm weather and golfing down south, ice fishing and skiing up north with beautiful, full seasons... really, no where else has all that. Government is ran efficiently as any government can be. They have been effective at bringing in huge business and I think good at keeping a budget. A great place to live by any standard.

My heart will forever reside in Utah County…read more This is and forever will be the best place on earth. The Wasatch mountain range provides the most beautiful backdrop for your daily life that constantly changes throughout the year. In the summer it is lusciously green to gaze upon while in the winter, it is draped in a blanket or pure white snow. Within our cities, it is not uncommon to see wildlife join the local folk: pronghorn antelope in the fields of Saratoga Springs to the cougar trails of Provo canyon. The people born and raised here are kindhearted and genuinely courteous. They see the best in people, even when you move in from another state to join our Utahn ranks. The food here is undeniably one-of-a-kind. You'll find almost every culture of cuisine within its borders. Pungent Indian tandoori chicken, perfectly al dente Italian rotini, and rustic homemade Argentinian empanadas to name a few. We welcome you to stay but please don't change my beloved Ut Co.

I filled out the application and made an appointment online. I think doing that ahead of time made…read morethe process a whole lot easier. I got there about 5mins before and I was worried it was going to take a long time since there were a ton of people waiting in the lobby area but I was called back at my appt time and it took less than 5 minutes! And the employee that helped me was really friendly! Definitely took the stress out of doing something I've been putting off for awhile!

On 22nd of April at 1:35 pm, I called to get an appointment for my foreign retirement file…read more The lady I talked with told me that I did not need an appointment for that kind of file. With that information from an official employee, I went to the Provo SSA office on May 1st. I got a number 907 at about noon and was received by the agent at desk 13. He was very unpleasant, telling me that he would not help me because I did not get an appointment for the subject, not listening to me explaining that I received an incorrect information by phone. I lost my time and my money, living one-hour south Provo. I demand a better welcome from government agents, who are paid with our money. I will probably send a letter to Governor Cox to complain. ES
