Happenings at the Orem Library

On Saturday, my family and I tried to make use of all those tax dollars being drained from my wallet by visiting the Orem Public Library. Unfortunately, before we were able to check out with our selected materials, a fire alarm began to sound and we had to put our books down and leave. By the time the fire crews and other emergency services left, the library had closed for the day. I was unable to find any information online about it (if you know anything, please leave a comment!), however I found this interesting video on YouTube talking about a new "TouchTable" they've installed at the Orem library...so, those of you with ready access to the SLCPL...well, ok, your library still wins. But it's still kind of forward-thinking for Utah County!

Swatson on :

I've been disappointed with libraries I've been to lately...like the past 15 years? This includes BYU's library. So, why can't these libraries smell like a Barnes & Noble or Borders or Waldenbooks, etc.? They have a stale smell and please don't tell me it's just the old books' smell. I don't think that's it. Yes, I love the smell of books. I love to open one up and just sniff it. There's certain sights, smells, tastes, sounds, etc. that must happen for an individual to have a fulfilled life, and smelling books is one of them.

Ancient of Days on :

Have you been to the Salt Lake City Public Library any time in the past 5 years? I think that's what a Library *should* feel, look, - and yes, maybe even *smell* like.

Swatson on :

You have piqued my appetite, sir. And no, I have never been to the Salt Lake City Public Library...I guess you think it is worth the trip?
