    Library Director

    435-654-1511 ext 4931

    I began working in libraries many moons ago, checking in books while listening to reggae music.

    Nowadays, I am one of the Library administrators, which means enjoying paperwork every day, but I enjoy even more the opportunity to say “Hello” as folks come to the library. I am an audiobook “reader” and greatly appreciate the feature to speed up the narration so I can get to my next read faster. However, there are some performances that I just have to listen at normal speed and revel in the beauty of the language.

    Some stories I really liked include:

    Anxious people by Fredrik Backman, The art of racing in the rain by Garth Stein, Thunder dog by Michael Hingson, and one of my all-time favorites Fear Nothing by Dean Koontz – truth is, there are many Dean Koontz stories I enjoy. If you’re a fan too, which Koontz’s story is your favorite?

    I have worked with the library since October 2021 and prior to that I worked in a small library for 16 years where I learned that service to teens is what I love the most! I work with volunteers and find joy in helping patrons!

    I like a great audiobook narrator and love to read anything with a great opening line which leads to many young adult books!

    My recommended reads:

    I Hunt Killers by Barry Lyga, Dead House by Dawn Kurtagich, We Were Liars by E. Lockhart, The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern

    It is my great pleasure to be responsible for story times, summer reading, and children’s programming.  I also do my best to keep up with the children’s book collection.

    I have worked here at Wasatch Library since December of 2020.  Before that I spent a couple of years at the Foothill Library in Salt Lake and well over 15 years in children’s services at the Logan Library up north in Cache Valley.

    I spend a great deal of time in my car and love streaming the library app Libby to listen to 2-3 books a week.

    My recommendations:

    My Favorite Picture Book – Anything Gerald and Piggie, My favorite J Fiction / YA right now – books by Jennifer Lynn Barnes (Inheritance Games), As for adult fiction, I’m a mystery lover, and right now I am loving the Inspector Gamache series by Louise Penny.

    Interlibrary Loan

    SSpencer@wasatch.utah.gov 

    Working for the Wasatch County Library since 2018 has been my favorite job. I love my wonderful co-workers, the awesome patrons and the smell of a good book! I learned to speak Spanish in Madrid Spain while serving a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

    My main focus here at the library is helping patrons at the front desk,  processing the Interlibrary loans (books borrowed from other libraries),  teaching kids craft classes, recovering books & helping with Spanish storytime. 

    In my spare time I love to listen to audio books narrated with British accents, walk my dogs and spend time with my family, especially my granddaughter.   

    My preferred genre to read or listen to are clean historical or regency fiction. Some of my favorite clean romance recommendations are:

    The Kiss of a Stranger by Sarah M. Eden, Promises and Primroses by Josi S. Kilpack, Untethered by Marcia Lynn McClure

    I work with library technology, keeping things up to date and running, as well as assisting library patrons with any technology related questions they may have. I have worked with the library for 17 years and I find it very enjoyable and fulfilling.

    My favorite genres to read are Sci-Fi and Fantasy and my interests include emerging technologies like augmented and virtual reality.

    diane carlile

    Senior Library Cataloger

    dcarlile@wasatch.utah.gov 

    I have worked with Wasatch County Library for 40 years. I build the library collection by selecting items to purchase, enter them in the catalog, and prepare them for the shelf. The best part about my job is connecting with so many people and wearing a wonderful new scent to work! I love holding a new book, being the first one to open it, and smell it!

    My favorite genres to read are Young Adult Fantasy, LDS Fantasy, and audiobooks with great narrators!

    My Recommendations:

    Sherwood by Meagan Spooner, The Dark Days Club by Alison Goodman, Kiss of the Spindle by Nancy Allen Campbell, Old Kingdom Series by Garth Nix 

    Kristi Weight

    Library Aide

    KWeight@wasatch.utah.gov 

    I have worked for Wasatch County library for 29 years. Before coming to the library, I was an IT Data Administrator for a large insurance company. My IT background has served the library well throughout the years.  I was instrumental in the initial automation of the Wasatch County Library & all subsequent upgrades, as well as new systems. The Library Director asked me to write the initial automation grants for our library. We met with vendors & when there was a huge conversion problem with our 1st system, I was asked to individually catalog thousands of records that did not convert for various reasons. I continue to catalog today.
     
    I am a great teacher, writer & story teller. I have a degree in History, Science and Recreation with a teaching certificate. For 17 years, another teacher & I gave middle school children a two-week summer science experience where we traveled to, adventured, studied & explored the mountains of Utah from Spanish Fork to the High Uintahs. I love using my teaching, science fun & adventure skills to help any children I come into contact with. I love volunteering!
     
    Fun fact: I have traveled the world & wherever I go, I always go to the local library to get new ideas & see what they are doing well. I love libraries!

    Library History

    HistoricHeberCityLibrary.jpg
    The historic former Heber City Library was constructed as a federal Public Works Administration (PWA) project during the latter years of the Great Depression at 188 S Main Street, Heber City UT 84032. Construction occurred between Aug. 1938 and May 1939. The PWA supplied a grant of $13,275 toward the project, whose total cost was $27,529.

    The building served as the community’s library until construction of the new Wasatch County Library completed in 2004. The New Deal facility now houses the Daughters of Utah Pioneers Museum.
