Salt Lake City Public Library - Public library in Salt Lake City - 210 E 400 S, USA

This is the coolest library I've ever been to. Very accessible. The library tech went above and beyond to find my book. It's absolutely gorgeous with several floors of books and vendors, something for everyone. A definite must see in Salt Lake City. The shops alone are worth it and there's even a Cafe. Not exactly library related but as I was leaving a man was coming in and instead of opening the door or shuffling some bags around, he used the bottom of his shoe to push the accessibility button. I tried to tell him I have to touch those with my hands but he just kept walking. Please don't put your feet on surfaces other people have to touch! Same goes for public toilets. Wash your hands and your feet. Ya nasty inconsiderate jerks. Go support your local library and this one in particular.

Really great library, great selection of books for all ages and interests. Art gallery too. Most of the seating is taken up by the homeless, including in the kids only area.

I have been coming here for years. Such a great public library that is well organized and super accessible. The construction itself is awesome and I believe has won awards. It has evolved and changed slightly over the years but it continues to serve the community in a great way. I highly recommend.

Breathtaking library welcoming locals and tourists alike. Being an out-of-state guest without a library card wasn't a barrier to enjoying the view and so many hands on activities. At the entrance indoor shops boasts plants, coffee and a bookstore. Below ground there's a full art gallery - much more enticing than the neighboring museum The Leonardo. Best of all, the children's library is an absolute dream! During our visit there were nooks devoted to camping, nature and treehouses. There are free snacks for hangry toddlers and teens alike, art activities and a knee-high chess board. I wish we had all day to spend here! Other reviews mention an outdoor space and seed exchange which we didn't get a chance to see this visit. I'd love to come back again!

Beautiful library! They have tons of space to read and explore! They make reading fun. I especially loved the children section. They have tons of nooks to read into. We went here on a rainy day but I saw they have wonderful outdoor space too! Definitely check this library out!

We stopped in while visiting from out of town. My kids had a blast! They really liked the different children's rooms. Their favorite part was riding in the glass elevators. The parking underneath the library was very convenient and reasonably priced.

This place is really unique. There’s about four floors to access. This was our last day and our flight wasnt until 730pm so we tried to stop by all the free locations we can downtown. It was pretty warm that day in the 90s so this city building definitely had AC. Parking: from what I saw I saw paid street parking outside. We didn’t have car so we just got dropped off. Ambiance: lots of natural light coming in from the roof. There was a museum section we caught at the top of he fourth floor. It was art from digital textures online. I thought it was pretty cool.

We love the Salt Lake City Public Library! It's a little out of the way for us but will come visit from time to time. They were doing the cutest activities in the children's section, and I'm so glad we stopped by. For the month of January, your child can adopt a small pet (stuffed animal), and it comes with an adoption certificate, vet check papers, and other activities ideas you can do with your pets. There are so many fun things to do in the kids' area, such as the vet corner. We will come back soon to play again! Park in the underground parking lot and make sure to bring your parking ticket in to get it validated.
