Cottonwood-Holladay - During a city council meeting on Oct. 27, Whitmore library representatives discussed the improvements made to the library over the summer with Cottonwood Heights City Council. 

Whitmore Library was closed most of the summer to make improvements. On Sept. 19, the doors to an improved local library were opened. 1,500 people attended the grand reopening and made 4,000 checkouts. 

The library improvements include new LED lighting, new carpet, restructured check-out desk and a bigger teen area. The public computers have been upgraded and new screens have been added. An additional check-out in the children section of the library has been added to make library visits easier for families. An entrance from the North parking lot has also been added.

Jobnow is a new service at Whitmore Library. It is an online help site designed for assistance with resumes and interviews. This is free with a library card. 

Brainviews, a new online tutoring program, has been added for students visiting the library. Designed with young students and adult learners in mind, professional tutors that are certified teachers or professors are on the other end of the connection for live interaction. Brainviews is a national program that is available from 2 to 7 p.m. on the weekdays. It is free with a library card.
