This year's escape room theme is The Secret Library...
Once upon a time, there was a library unlike any other. The bookshelves lined with ancient novels, journals, and art books. The true magic, however, lay hidden within the library's oldest section—a secret room that had long been forgotten by most, save for a few local artists and historians.
This forgotten room, once the creative sanctuary of a mysterious, long-lost artist named Paige Reed, was said to be a place where art came to life. However, one day, she disappeared without a trace, leaving behind only cryptic sketches, unfinished canvases, and a peculiar collection of tools.
The library, over the years, became a hub for teens to explore their own creativity. They would often come together, sketching in the corners, reading graphic novels, and experimenting with different media. But despite their love for art, no one could seem to decipher the enigma of Paige's room—until now.
Decipher the puzzles and be reward with a treat from the Ghost of Paige Reed. Will you be the one to crack the code? Or will you, like so many before, get lost in the art?

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.
