I recently got a library card and am getting back into reading. The Pleasant Grove library has been…read moregreat! They have a wonderful selection of books. I love the display of the new adult books as well. It's easy to locate books with the author last name and I love that they put a sticker with what type of book it is as well. The employees are helpful and friendly as well. I love the fact you can also access audiobooks!

I love this Little cute library! It has a small town feel. On the smaller side, but mighty! We…read morelove renting movies from here. They have a pretty good collection of new movies and If you sign up for emails, they will email you when they have new movies to rent. Every time we come into this little gem, the staff is always so friendly and helpful. They are operating limited hours right now due to COVID19, but they make sure their limited hours are posted on their website's front page. When you do return movies and books, the only way their taking it back is the drop box behind the library. They are not taking any returns inside. In addition, they are not taking any cash for payment for any late fees at this time due to the pandemic. What I also love about this library is sometimes they have donated bread at the entrance, free to anyone who might need it. At this time I don't think anyone is allowed to sit and stay (and play) inside, so they labeled their hours as "Grab & Go" while they are open. I have looked into their digital selection, and it would be nice if they can expand it. I've put in a few requests for movies that they do not have, but have not received any response as to them making any effort of carrying it. Room for growth!

I love coming to libraries, they just feel so nostalgic to me. Even though I didn't grow up going…read moreto this specific location, it still gives me that same cozy, happy feeling every time I walk in. I stopped by to grab a copy of The Notebook by Nicholas Sparks for my book club meeting, and they had two copies available. Also, I had no idea that if you have a library card for American Fork, Pleasant Grove, or Highland, you can use it at any of the three libraries. So that was great to know! I tried using self check out, but since it's been a couple of years since I've used my card physically at the library, it was blocked. I had to head to the counter, and they just needed to confirm my info was still correct. Super simple fix. The employee who helped me was so friendly exactly the kind of person you hope to interact with at a library.

Wow! So impressed with the library over here. It's located by a cute park and walking area. Went…read moreinside to print some papers and was quickly impressed with the entire library. Very cool decorations, helpful staff and lots of cool events. I was able to print some papers with ease and for cheap. I will definitely be getting a library card and coming back for some of the events!

I love the Orem public library with all my heart! I have spent many hours here over the years…read morestarting when I was a very young child - I got my first library card at the age of four. 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!

great service. I have transportation problems…read more Just moved here from Florida. 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. I am elderly, cannot drive, and don't know how to find my way around. So I love that I can easily read as much as I want.

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.

This is a great library. My kids love going to the library. There are a lot of great books, fun…read moreactivities planned for different age groups throughout the week, kind and knowledgeable staff, and plenty of computers available for use. It isn't very large, so if you are hoping to sneak away into a private corner to do work, then you will find there aren't a lot of hiding places. The younger children's book area is separate, which helps contain much of the noisier patrons in one place, since littles aren't very good at whispering. If you really need more quiet, you can either reserve the private room available, or just wear noise-canceling headphones. If I am studying, I will often pull up some classical music to study by on YouTube and listen with my headphones while doing my studying. This way I am not distracted by anyone else who may be near by. As with all libraries, it maintains a level of quiet, but it won't be dead quiet like in a university library. After all, this is a community library that caters to families...which includes children. I love seeing kids at the library! It's a good place for our next generation of leaders to hang out.

This is a great family outing!! Could spend so much time…read morelooking at the detail in this awesome wall of stained glass throughout history of all time!! Definitely call ahead to make sure they are open, but free and my kids loved playing who can find... and taking turns.

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.

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.

The name is appropriate because, HOLY COW, it was packed wall to wall with stuff to buy! Each time, there are a variety of crafts, from food to signs to homemade potions and lotions, to get you through the next Holy Cow! Being true to form, we mostly hit up the food vendors and a few of the holiday ones, for our family. It was fun, and, there was more to see, but we're both currently broken, so we'll have to check out the next round, when we won't need crutches or wheelchairs, to get around. Such a great way to meet people and support local businesses. :)
