Welcome to the Pleasant Grove City Library website.

The Pleasant Grove Library's City-Wide Read joins hundreds of other cities in this community reading event. All residents are invited to read the same book and then come together to talk about it. The book for Pleasant Grove's first City-Wide Read is Peace Like a River by Leif Enger.

Peace Like a River is a best-selling and award winning novel. It is an engrossing story about a father raising his three children in 1960s Minnesota. It is a breathtaking celebration of family, America's pioneering spirit, and a rich mixture of adventure, tragedy, and healing.

Copies of Peace Like a River are available at the library. Anyone may get a copy of this book.

There will be a discussions about the book held on September 11 at 10:00 a.m. and September 25 at 7:00 p.m. Everyone is welcome at these discussions.

Just before his visit there will be a special ASAP event at 6:00 p.m. called "Where have all the faeries gone?"

The cities of American Fork, Pleasant Grove, Lehi, and Eagle Mountain have agreed to participate in a reciprocal borrowing system that will allow library card holders at any of the cooperating libraries to check out materials from all four libraries.

Starting now, patrons with cards in good standing may go to a participating library and check out items.
