click to enlarge Who knew that the American Library Association selected our humble Sprague Library as the Most Beautiful Branch Library in America ? Yup, in 1935! The award could certainly be fitting today as this Salt Lake City library re-opened to the public this week as a restored, refreshed and repaired beauty to behold! Back in July 2017, a sudden storm drenched both the city and Sugar House. Several inches poured from the skies over an hour. This library sits along Parleys Creek, and debris in the creek clogged one of the drainage grates in the Hidden Hollow retention pond, causing water and detritus to overflow, running directly into the basement of the library. When the storm subsided, there were 5 feet of muck and dirty water in the basement; books, periodicals and supplies were lost forever.
