Glendale Branch

Meeting Room A

Youth ages 8–17 can craft a story — personal, fictional, or otherwise — with help from by professional story artists Cherie Davis and Ginger Parkinson. Registration required for this 3-day workshop.

Youth aged 8–17 can participate in Story Camp which takes place Wednesday–Friday, August 6–8, 2025, from 10am–Noon, led by professional story artists Cherie Davis and Ginger Parkinson.

Create, Re-Think, Perform! Youth get to craft a story of their choosing – from folktales to original to personal stories. Youth get to “play” with the story and look at stories in another perspective. Re-thinking is what a storyteller does all the time. Youth get to practice and perform and work through the stumbles and stutters. Stage presence and delivery top off the experience.

This event is held in partnership with Story Crossroads, the Salt Lake City Arts Council, and Zoo, Arts & Parks of Salt Lake County (ZAP).

About the branch

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.
