One of my favorite research libraries. The staff is super helpful and the collections are fun to look through. Even if you’re not doing major research, I’d stop in for the tour. It’s one of the hidden gems on temple square.

You can start your Temple Square experience here in the underground parking garage next door. Then come here to learn the history of the Church you'll see the various buildings for. Guides here will show you some simple, brief displays. Then, if you want (probably few do) you can spend time reading the many books in this big collection. So, yeah, it's a library. But it's also a great introduction to the rest of your walk around Salt Lake City. Air-conditioned, immaculate restrooms, super-nice guides, and no pressure.

Looks like you cannot go in on your own and explore the history of the Mormons. Only tours, so basically not a public library.

I found it very interesting and useful. It is remarkable that documents have survived this long. I will go back.

Search your mother's name in catalog.churchofjesuschrist.org if we have them we'd list them there.
Call the Church History Library and ask to speak to someone in Acquisitions.
If you have them, the Church History Library would likely be interested in these items, especially the South Africa Mission study guide. You can find info about contacting the library here: https://history.churchofjesuschrist.org/content/library/gifts-and-donations
In Pratt's autobiography he says a stranger in Hamilton gave him $10 and a letter of introduction to John Taylor (chapter 17).
If you go to history.churchofjesuschrist.org and click on the "ask us" and ask your question. Church History scholars will research and answer your question.
Sometimes you can rent one from a camera shop. Years ago I bought one to accomplish my project. It got too old to use with new computers so we threw it away.
If you mean you would like a book from our collection sent to a library in St. George, no. This is an archival repository library. It doesn't participate in Inter Library Loanvor any program like that. But a large portion of the books in the collection are available on the library website digitally. That website is https://history.churchofjesuschrist.org/
Unless your mother was a significant person in church history, this would probably not be the place for a personal history. I would recommend the Family History Library. You can upload a digital copy to the FamilySearch website and ask the library if they'd like a physical copy for their archives. You can always send an email to acquisitions and ask though. I do know they take personal journals.
Absolutely YES,
You do it online now! Sign in to your church account by clicking "my account and ward" in the upper right corner at churchofjesuschrist.org, and there is a link in the account drop down menu that says "patriarchal blessing".
You can go to churchhistorylibrary.org and click on the Ask Us button. The library's reference staff will help answer your question.
Meaning is that chapel/church the last to be built using funds from members or with donations from members
As of this summer, the Executive Director of the Church History Department is Elder LeGrand R. Curtis. The deputy director is Elder Kyle S. McKay.
If it was before 1940 it might be in The Encyclopedic History of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints https://www.worldcat.org/title/encyclopedic-history-of-the-church-of-jesus-christ-of-latter-day-saints/oclc/3188924

I'm no historian, but it wasn't unheard of for people to be endowed quite young - especially if they lived a distance from the temple. I have several ancestors who were endowed at 15, 16, 17, they were also sealed to their parents and married(!) around the same time. In 1879 St. George was the only temple and travel was difficult. Unless he already lived nearby, it's possible he was endowed when he was there because it was unknown when/if the opportunity would come up again. Remember there were no recommended ages for such things at the time, and boys finished school and started working at 14. If the bishop felt he was mature enough to understand and be faithful to his covenants, he could be endowed.
According to the Church Historic Sites website, it was "renovated and restored" in 2000.
Hi - first check the catalog to see if the records exist. If they do, and they are open to research, you can view them in the Reading Room. https://history.lds.org/section/library?lang=eng
Check the online catalog to see if it's available, if it is a staff member at the library will find it for you.
You can see if the library had the diary you are looking for on their online catalog. If they do, go into the library and a staff member will help you find it.
Your own ordinance information can be found on the LDS tools app. Select yourself in the directory and then select membership information. If you are attending an LDS ward, the ward clerk can also print a membership record.
If you live in or around Salt Lake City, come to the Church History Library. Someone would be glad to help you. You can also call. Google the website.
For a baby blessing, the ward clerk can issue one (they likely won't have an original copy, it will just be recorded.) For a patriarchal blessing, you need to request that online via your LDS account. If you don't have an account ask the ward clerk for help in setting one up.
The baptismal font in the basement of the salt lake temple is still very much in use, the font in the basement of the tabernacle has been removed. Photos of both are easily found online. temple font: https://goo.gl/images/7KkWJA Tabernacle font: https://goo.gl/images/uPbvCF
