Hunter Library – Salt Lake County Library Services

I haven’t been to a library in years. And I mean YEARS. Back in my college days, libraries were strictly for checking out books, quiet study time, and accessing computers to do research for my assignments. Today, or perhaps it’s just this particular library, there are so many kids running around, crying babies, and so much noise! It almost felt like I was at Walmart without the groceries!
Depending on who you ask for help, but most just sit around and point you to places without giving proper direction or information. I don’t know his name, but he was the only man working there and practically gave me a mini tour of the place! Not only can you borrow books, you can borrow DVDs, CDs, and play online games on the computer. Oh yea, the guy also showed me how to check out! Remember I told you it’s been years? Well now you stack your books/​DVDs/​CDs and the scanner will read all the barcodes at once. Mind. Blown. Hahaha.
When you do come in here to get a library card, make sure you bring a photo ID and proof of your current address to get registered. I got a temporary card so I can only borrow up to 3 items and return them within 21 days. You can print out a receipt for a reminder to return them.

ok its a library but there are some perks, besides getting DVD’s and books that you can also get a Utah state park pass for a week with library card. Pick up on Wednesday and drop back on Tuesday. Saved $ 75.00 and we used it for 4 state parks. Like Goblin Valley, Green River State Park, Dead horse point and Jordanelle reservoir to name a few. One library perk I won’t complain about. FYI one time use a year.
Two thing about turning the pass back in; every day its late its $ 10 bucks and you have to turn it in person, no drop box.

It’s a library.
Louder than I would like, with the usual less than pleasant library staff.
It’s probably not the nicest you will find, but it’s better than my other close by library locations.
