"I heard a fun story recently.  A family was moving to North Dakota after living in Orem for several years.  As they were preparing to leave, the parents asked the children where they would like to visit one more time before they moved.  Their 4 year-old son asked to go to the Orem Library . . . not Seven Peaks, not Lagoon, not the fun center, but the Library.  He wanted to see all the books before he left."   Blogger
