Project Description

In 2004, Salt Lake County initiated a planning process to develop strategies for the economic development and revitalization of Magna with special focus on a Main Street neighborhood where many residents live. One of the revitalization strategies was to locate important community buildings on Main Street such as a new library to expand “big city” opportunities to the small town.

Magna Library was previously located in rented space within a strip mall that had numerous health and safety issues. In addition to having a strong visual impact on the community, the new Magna Library provides books and materials to meet the informational, educational and recreational needs of library users. The Library is also be a site where citizens can access the Internet and use online informational databases.
