Salt Lake City (and surrounding area) has more libraries than just the Family History Library

Within a short one hour or less drive from downtown Salt Lake City, Utah, the location of the celebrated Family History Library, there are many other libraries, some with huge reference collections:

• Salt Lake Public Library System (main library and 5 branch libraries)
• Salt Lake County Library System (19 branches)
• Utah State Library
• J. Willard Marriott Library, University of Utah
• Provo Library at Academy Square
• American Fork Library
• Orem Public Library
• Brigham Young University, Harold B. Lee Library
• BYU Family History Library
• Daughters of the Utah Pioneers
• Westminster College
• Utah Valley University Library
• The Church History Library

Of course the larger universities have larger libraries, but many of these institutions have really fine collections. You may want to explore their catalogs and collections before visiting the actual physical site. If you want to go a little further afield, there is also the Weber State University.
