Review & FAQ:
The Downtown City Library is the main branch building of the Salt Lake City Public Library system, located in the city's downtown district near Washington Square. The unique wedge-shaped library building replaces the city's original public library building, which has now been converted into the Hansen Planetarium and listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It was designed by Moshe Safdie and Associates and offers 240,000 square feet of collections and public-use space, holding a collection of more than half a million volumes and audiovisual materials. Unique attractions include a rooftop perennial garden, an art gallery showcasing works by local Utah artists, and an extensive graphic novel and zine collection, which is considered to be one of the finest of its kind in the United States. 163 computer workstations are also offered, along with a children's library and a coffee shop.
