**Meeting & Event Spaces at the Salt Lake City Public Library — Main Library**

Whether you're planning an intimate business meeting, a community workshop, a film screening, or a landmark celebration, the Salt Lake City Public Library's Main Library offers a remarkable range of event spaces in one of Utah's most iconic buildings. Designed by world-renowned architect Moshe Safdie, the Main Library provides a stunning backdrop for gatherings of every size — and many spaces are available free of charge for community use.

Intimate & Small Group Spaces   
Conference Rooms on Levels 2 and 3 are ideal for smaller gatherings of 6 to 15 people. Both rooms feature open ceilings, ample natural light, and the building's signature award-winning design aesthetic — a refreshing alternative to a standard boardroom. Each includes wireless internet and a whiteboard.

Flexible Conference Rooms   
For groups of 15 to 60, Conference Rooms A, B, and C — located off the Lower Urban Room — offer versatile, private spaces well-suited for classes, lectures, and meetings. All three rooms are equipped with LCD projectors, wireless internet, and whiteboards. A standout feature: the collapsible walls between Rooms A, B, and C can be opened to create one larger combined space, accommodating a wide range of event configurations.

Conference Room E, on Level L1 adjacent to the Children's Library, is another excellent option for groups of 20 to 35, with easy access from the library's glass elevators.

A Room with a View Conference Room Level 4 is one of the most sought-after event spaces in downtown Salt Lake City. Two sweeping banks of windows frame the Wasatch Mountains to the east and the city skyline to the west, creating a breathtaking setting for lectures, press conferences, presentations, and musical events. Flexible seating arrangements — lecture, classroom, or conference style — accommodate 50 to 100 guests.

Landmark Event Spaces   
The Nancy Tessman Auditorium seats 300 in stadium seating and features a beautiful stage, LCD projector, DVD player, microphones, dressing rooms, and internet access — perfect for film screenings, performances, and large public programs. Available for after-hours rental.

The Urban Room, the library's grand five-story atrium with a soaring glass ceiling, accommodates 150 to 300 guests and makes for an unforgettable backdrop for receptions and large events. Like the Auditorium, it is available for after-hours rental.

For truly special occasions, the Rooftop Terrace offers 360-degree views of the Wasatch Mountains, Salt Lake Valley, and city skyline — an open-air venue unlike anything else in Salt Lake, with capacity for 100 to 250 guests.

Getting Started   
Many rooms are available at no charge for qualifying community use, with rental and service fees applying for private, conference, and after-hours events. To submit a room request or review rental rates and the fee schedule, visit rooms.slcpl.org.

Visit Salt Lake

Salt Lake is the place where the Wasatch mountain peaks frame city streets. Sure, Salt Lake's famed for our winter powder ([four legendary ski resorts](https://www.visitsaltlake.com/things-to-do/skiing-snowboarding/) just 30 minutes from downtown), but that's just one season's story. Summer brings families [hiking through wildflower meadows](https://www.visitsaltlake.com/things-to-do/outdoor-recreation/) before cooling off at a Jazz game or the Gateway fountains. Autumn paints our mountain canyons in gold, perfect for morning strolls that end at local coffee shops. Spring? That's when you might spot baby bison on Antelope Island before heading to the Eccles Theater for a Broadway show. Our soaring Wasatch Mountains rise dramatically from downtown Salt Lake, creating a place where every day offers both natural wonders and urban energy. And while we sit perfectly between the [national parks](https://www.visitsaltlake.com/things-to-do/outdoor-recreation/state-national-parks/) with Yellowstone's geysers and Utah's red rock country, the real magic happens right here, where everyone can [discover the history](https://www.visitsaltlake.com/plan-your-visit/about-salt-lake/) of the city as they find their own rhythm between mountain adventure and city life.
