Library Grand Re-Opening

The Library Building and Jim Santy Auditorium will re-open to the public on Saturday, June 13th! Community volunteers will pass 127 books from their current temporary home at Miners Hospital to their new permanent residence at the renovated Park City Library. Each book represents each of the 127 years that the Library has been open. A ribbon cutting ceremony will take place after the Book Brigade and activities ranging from live music to games to Indie Film shorts.

We will have a live jazz band, film related giveaways every 15 min and free popcorn from 1 to 4 PM outside the theater in the 3rd floor common area.
