Salt Lake County and West Jordan High Librarians Team Up to Get Kids Excited About Reading

Posted on

A team-up of libraries benefited the students at West Jordan High School. Librarians from the Salt Lake County Library system visited the WJHS media center to assist classes in signing up for library cards. In minutes, everyone interested received their own library card or a replacement card for old accounts. 

Salt Lake County Library staff shared their love of books, but also educated students on everything else that comes with a library card. The local library can help with homework, college prep, or even 3D printing. Owning a library card gives students access to a wealth of services that can benefit them for the rest of their lives. 

Thank you to the Salt Lake County Library staff for visiting West Jordan High and helping Jaguar students.
