This was a lovely summer reading promotion poster from Herriman Library in Utah. It really like the way the local canyons and buttes are made of books. The retro look works really well

Brigham Young University Library, Provo, Utah has a recent extension to the library, it was mostly underground, but with the glass entrance to open up the space and to provide a light well. Other light wells to the extension were visible through the garden landscaping.

Grand County Public Library, Moab, Utah

This library was awarded the Best Small Library in America by Library Journal in 2007, and it is a lovely library.  The landscaping, shown below shows how the design fits within in the local environment. 




The entrance to the children's had 'read' posters featuring many locals, including national park workers (there are two national parks very close to Moab).



This shows just one of the comfortable seating areas in the library, and other outlook from it.
