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.

The teen section is especially cool with a gaming set up so you can play with your friends, but there are also study rooms so adults can find a quiet place and get some work done. There are lots of computers you can sign into to get work done lots and lots of books to check out and so much more. I would definitely recommend coming. Here is super cool and there's so much to do. It is a super fun place to just go and hang out with your friends or family.

The selection of books here is wonderful! They have a lot to offer and are always updating the collection. Not only do they offer books of all kinds but the Orem library also has lots of extra collections including board games (free to borrow!), video games, movies, and an impressive "makers space" in the basement. We love the community events and children's activities that they offer. This will always be a favorite place of mine!

I love that I can get online on the catalog and choose the books I want to read. my daughter can drive there return by checked out books and pick up the fresh batch. it is a lovely library and I wish I could visit more.

Library leadership is self-absorbed, complacent and only concerned about their own well-being. They…read moreare not interested in advancing the people they are responsible for leading. They are unaware of employee strengths and prefer staff "remain in their lane". They make little to no investment in getting to know employees. Leadership claims to have an open-door policy (come and talk) but what ensues is an excuse or dismissiveness with those who ask or bring forward potential problems. They provide little to no feedback and disregard problems, while micromanaging staff without understanding their needs for the job.

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

I've been here twice now. I'm from Los Angeles and both times have been amazing! There is such a…read morevast collection of books and literature, you could spend hours in there just browsing. The workers there are the best I've seen in a book store. They are all very knowledgeable about the store, its literature, and history of the items they have in store. The first time I visited I chose a passage from one of their Bibles that you can have framed on the spot; I also met Mr. Moon! I cherish this Bible page, and have it mounted in my office. If you're looking to buy reprints of your favorite books or looking to read something new, they have them available at reasonable prices. If you're looking for something older, maybe even a first edition, they most likely have it too. I couldn't recommend this bookstore more, and I hope to return again in the future!

I definitely will be grabbing a cup of coffee to read a book in their quaint little library.

BYU won't get a cent of my money, because of how terrible the campus security treated me. They don't believe in God, just looking like they do and acting high and mighty while they take your money.

BYU will always have a piece of my heart…read more There's just something about this place--clean, peaceful, and buzzing with a kind of quiet ambition. Walking across campus, with the mountains towering in the background and the smell of freshly cut grass or melting snow depending on the season, it's like you're in a living postcard. The professors here actually care. You're not just a name on a roster--you're someone they expect great things from. And say what you will about the Honor Code, but there's a kind of clarity and focus that comes from being surrounded by people who are trying to live their values. Also, shout-out to the Harold B. Lee library. That thing is a fortress of productivity. I've never been more academically dialed-in than I was on the 5th floor during finals week with a Cookies N Cream chocolate milk from the Creamery in one hand and a stack of flashcards in the other. And then there's the people. You come for the degree, but stay for the lifelong friends, hallway chats, devotional takeaways, and yes--those divine CougarTails on game day. BYU shaped me. Spiritually, intellectually, even socially. Couldn't recommend it more.
