After a year of curbside service,the Summit County Library has reopened its doors.
The Coalville, Kamas Valley and Kimball Junction branches are now allowing patrons to come in and browse the shelves and office equipment, said Library Director Daniel Compton.
“You can come in and use the computers, the printer, scanner and things like that, which were services we couldn’t provide during the pandemic,” Compton said. “We are still offering curbside pickup, because we know there may be some people who are not totally comfortable coming back into a public space or who haven’t been vaccinated yet, but people are welcome to come inside.”

Worldwide adventure outfitter Backcountry calls Park City home, and now Park City is home to a first for the online retailer a brick-and-mortar store, located below the company’s headquarters in Kimball Junction.
The store opened Tuesday, and includes a selection of Backcountry’s gear as well as owned brands like Stoic and Basin + Range, in addition to some items from other brands. Katie Hostetler, a marketing professional who has been working with Backcountry to get the store up and running, said distilling the limitless options of online retail down to what can fit in a physical retail space was “a bit tricky,” and will change with the seasons. For example, the store is currently stocked with gear for trail running, camping, water and biking activities. They didn’t want the constraints of the space to limit options for their customers, though.

A small group of anti-vaccine advocates gathered outside the Kamas office of the Summit County Health Department on Saturday to dissuade people from getting a COVID-19 vaccine, according to a report from the Summit County Sheriff’s Office.
The Health Department was hosting a vaccine clinic that day. Health officials told the Board of Health on Monday that one person who approached the clinic did not receive a vaccine after encountering the group of five or six people.
Deputies indicated the group approached people who were headed to the health office and the group was reportedly “pushy” at times, but group members did not commit any crimes.
The Summit County Sheriff s report
Around 100 high schoolers gathered at Matt Knoop Park Friday night for what appeared to be an organized fight, according to Summit County Sheriff’s Lt. Andrew Wright.
The teenagers scattered when they noticed deputies arriving, Wright said, but the parking lot was full to overflowing.
“Several students who remained on the field stated they had boxing gloves and mouthguards. One student was carrying a championship belt and stating they did not have a winner yet,” Wright said.
Deputies told the teens that the park closed at dark and they should leave.
Wright indicated the teens did so, with two asking for a ride from a deputy because they were cold.
