In Weber County, library use is at an all-time high, but sorely needed upgrades and expansions have been put off for years. In a special vote-by-mail election on June 25, voters will decide whether those improvements can happen. On the table is a $45 million bond that will provide for • Renovation and upgrades of the historic main library at 2464 Jefferson in Ogden • Replacement of the southwest branch in Roy with a larger, more modern facility • Expansion and modernization of the North Ogden ...

Amelia Rudolph Amelia Rudolph loves the Salt Lake City Library building, but not just because it has lots of books and a comfortable reading areas.

Salt Lake County Council Chairmen Steve DeBry is concerned that Salt Lake’s Pride Parade is a political event, and therefore the county’s library should not participate (“Did Salt Lake County show too much pride?” Tribune, June 12). He’s signaling out gays for special scrutiny. Gay pride events are no more political than Utah’s Hispanic Fiesta, which surely includes advocates for giving citizenship to undocumented immigrants. Both celebrate the existence and rightful place of their minority comm...

Salt Lake County Council Chairman Steve DeBry has asked county officials to determine the legality of the county’s participation in the Pride Parade, which celebrates equality for gays and lesbians. DeBry was the only council member to vote against the county registry that allows couples to enroll to share benefits and other privileges regardless of marital status. But, he says, the nature of the organization behind Pride Day events has nothing to do with his inquiry. He said he is acting on th...

A 21-year-old man apparently jumped to his death from the roof of the Salt Lake City main library Monday afternoon, an event that prompted the closure of the library for the remainder of the day.

But police said no one was in the amphitheater at the time, and they do not believe any children witnessed the man’s death. The man used a chair to get to a section of the ...
