History
editThe Utah State Library was created in 1957 when Governor George D. Clyde appointed a ten person library commission in accordance with a recently passed state law.[2] The library was originally housed in the Governor's Mansion before it moved to the state fair grounds and ultimately was moved to 2150 South 300 West in Salt Lake City.[2] In 1998 it moved to its current location at 250 North 1950 West in Salt Lake City.[2]
Purpose
