The library isn't just a library. There are City offices and they also do a really nice artist display on a private room--no charge. The top floor of Academy Square utilizes the old gym to have wedding receptions and other community events. I love how the city has created a library with a children's wing, fiction section, a music section, a used book sale room, computers on two floors, a magazine/newspaper section, and a non-fiction section. They even have a decent selection of large print items. They also hold classes (art, crafts, and other special interest, providing kits every month to use right there at the library) that are free as well displays. They have copy and print facilities at a decent price too.This is a wonderful facility--one of my favorite places!

I love this library. So many free activities and resources. There are classes for kids and adults for all kinds of different things, and even a recording studio you can have free time at if you are wanting to make a podcast or something. There are rooms for study or meetings, a ballroom for events, free shows and concerts, and more. It is a beautiful building inside and out as well if you need pictures taken. You can also rent out as many DVDs as you want at a time!

I've honestly had an amazing time at the this library. It has a ton of amazing books that I love, and has many more I still need to read. It also has a wide selection of movies me and my family have loved watching. It also has a fourth floor where they often have activities to do. They also have games in the kids area, and do activities on the third floor as well.They even have a studying area where there's tables, plenty of plug-ins and really nice seats by windows with a great view. They have lots of workers who are really helpful. I've had a lot of fun here, and I'm excited for my next visit!

Excellent library. Beautiful building. Fantastic service. Myriads of books (and other resources) to choose from (excluding the massive online selection and Provo library's agreement with Orem library to borrow books there make it even easier to get the book I want to read!)!
