Utah's Murray Library Celebrates Its Centennial

Murray Library celebrates centennial with year of events. (Salt Lake Tribune, 2/29/2012)  

Excerpt: The library now contains more than 75,000 books, magazines, CDs, movies and other items, and patrons check out more than a half-million of them each year. 

An auditorium and meeting rooms provide a venue for performances and places for groups to gather, from the Utah Old Time Fiddlers to Overeaters Anonymous. And the calendar is packed with events — story times, game nights, teen book clubs, Boys Will Be Boys and Girls Will Be Girls clubs and more. 

"It’s a popular library and an important part of the community," said Shaun Delliskave, head of the Murray Library Centennial Committee.
 
The library, founded in the spring of 1912, is holding a yearlong celebration.
