J. Willard Marriott Library - lib.utah.edu

An overhead view of a busy library atrium during a large community event. Tables covered with orange and yellow tablecloths are arranged throughout the open space, displaying books, crafts, informational materials, and hands-on activities. Dozens of attendees walk between tables, browse exhibits, and speak with event organizers. Strings of red and orange paper leaves are suspended across the atrium, creating an autumn-themed decoration overhead. The space features tall white columns, open seating and study areas, and multiple service and display stations. Bright lighting and the open, multi-level layout emphasize the scale and energy of the event.

On Thursday, September 3rd, from 10:30 AM until 1:00 PM, level 1 Lobby will be transformed into an autumnal welcoming party for everyone on campus to learn what the library has to offer.

A person stands on an upper-level balcony inside a modern library atrium, resting both hands on a metal railing. The person wears glasses, a magenta sweater over a dark collared shirt with a small dotted pattern, and a square pendant necklace. The background is softly blurred and features glass railings, tall columns, warm wood-paneled walls, and multiple levels of open library space. The portrait is evenly lit, with the subject centered in the frame against the contemporary interior setting.

New Changes for Student Success

A big welcome to our new students and faculty and those returning this Fall Semester!

Historic black-and-white panoramic photograph of Temple Square in Salt Lake City. The Salt Lake Temple dominates the right side of the image, rising above a densely landscaped block filled with mature trees. The domed Salt Lake Tabernacle is visible near the center, while another large church building and a tall smokestack stand to the left. In the foreground, a monument occupies a street intersection where curved streetcar tracks run along the roads surrounding the square. A few early automobiles and pedestrians are visible near the tree-lined streets, with mountains faintly visible in the distance under a hazy sky.

Five staff members wearing matching black “Answer U” T-shirts pose behind a service desk in a library or campus help center. The space features wood-paneled walls, service counters, office chairs, computers, and large windows that bring in natural light. One staff member stands behind a small podium, while others are positioned around the desk area. A sign on the podium references checking out equipment, and a wall sign reading “Loan Office” is visible in the background. The service area appears organized and welcoming, with workstations and customer service equipment throughout the space.
