Salt Lake City has a new must see attraction...The City Library.

I know, I know, I know, libraries are scary places filled with icky books, mean librarians and such things, but the new City Library is Kewl (that is Kewl with a kapital K). The library has a main plaza for major entertainment events. The library also dares to break out of the straight lines and 90 degree angles that typify American architecture.

The library invites patrons to walk to the top floor and enjoy a spectacular view of the City Scape and mountains.

The library is adjacent to Trax. You can enjoy a weekend trip to the library without having to worry about finding a parking space, and without adding to Salt Lake's pollution problem.

You can help support this site and save money by buying a prepaid calling card from Nobelcom. Nobelcom has US rates as low as 1.5 cents a minute. They have great international rates as well.
