grant r. brimhall library

They have a reputation for being a great library for good reason. I can almost always find the book I want or the refererence desk will quickly get it for me. There are plenty of desks, comfortable chairs, an affordable coffee kiosk, a nice gift shop, good outdoor seating, plenty of parking, a book drop, and a very friendly, helpful staff. Their one author one book annual event is always enjoyable. They also have numerous other events throughout the year for children, adults, and families. What would I change? Not a thing!

This is one of the best libraries I've been to, especially for children. Between the adult area and the children's area is an amazing salt water fish tank that keep the children and adults interested. In the children's section there are all sorts of fluffy, cute hand-puppets and in the toddlers area huge stuffed animals they use like a chair to snuggle up and look at books, or they can play on the train table and other fun distractions. Outside, cross over a bridge to the park area and it is kid-paradise. Lots of picnic table areas with BBQ's and 2 ponds with lots of ducks! There is a 'under 5' play area and a '5 & up' play area with tunnel slides, swings, rings and all sorts of fun. A good running track and lots of paths for kids to ride their bikes. Plenty of free parking too. It's a great place with or without kids. Nice place just to have a picnic and read.
