Read KSL.com's story about Zombie Thoughts
It tells the story of Sam and Pig, two characters in a video game. They'll need your help to make the right choices in their quest to defeat the evil Machine. Zombie Thoughts is sometimes touching, sometimes hilarious journey through identity, anxiety and understanding.
Written by Weber State University professor Jenny Kokai and her 11-year-old son Oliver, Zombie Thoughts is inspired by Oliver’s experience living with Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD). According to the Anxiety and Depression Association of America (ADAA), GAD affects one in eight children in the United States. The goal of the play is to dispel misunderstandings surrounding anxiety for kids, families, administrators, teachers, and students.

The Glendale Branch of the Salt Lake City Public Library system, designed by Architectural Nexus and opened in February of 2015, offers approximately 20,000 square feet of space, making it the largest City Library branch. The branch houses 40,000 circulating materials, public computers, a lounge area, a green screen room, and a grand piano donated through the Mundi Project.
The floor plan of the branch offers open views across the building while creating designated spaces for children's, teen, and adult Library collections. An enclosed activity room easily accommodates various Library programming, and a designated teen space offers a place for young adults to gather, study, and access Library resources and services.
Built with the Glendale neighborhood in mind, the building shape includes a curved form that reaches out and embraces the community while creating an outdoor plaza. Special colored concrete and landscaped designs represent the geographic area along the Jordan River, while the design scheme of interior signage incorporates colors and forms that represent the many ethnic backgrounds of Glendale neighborhood residents.
The branch is easily accessible to area students, being located just one block from Glendale Middle School, Mountain View Elementary School, and the Salt Lake City School District's Community Learning Center.
The diversity of building materials, finishes, and colors of the Glendale Branch reflect the diversity of the Glendale neighborhood, which is one of the most diverse communities in Salt Lake City.
