Some info about accessing the Library
Parking at the J. Willard Marriott Library:
The Library's address is 295 S 1500 E, SLC UT 84112. Click here for Directions to the Library.
While you can park in any visitor lot on campus, we recommend the lot near the library’s west entrance/campus bookstore. Campus visitor lots no longer have attendants and require advance payment at an automated kiosk.
As part of your registration, we have generated a payment code for you that the kiosk will accept. After you park, take note of your car’s license plate number, then find the nearest kiosk and enter the following information:
Your one-time use parking code: MWDL718
Number of hours you expect to park: 7/10: 8 hours; 7/11: 9 hours
Your car’s license plate number
We cannot pay for any fines that result from failure to correctly follow these procedures. We recommend watching this short video that explains the kiosk parking system.

Day 1 - MWDL Hubs Only Meeting. Click here for Agenda
This meeting provides an opportunity for MWDL’s hosting hubs to work towards realizing the collaborative vision of maximizing public access and connecting people with digitized primary source materials.
Day 2 - MWDL Digitization Community Day. Click here for Agenda
This meeting provides the community an opportunity to participate in, and learn about best practices, challenges, and workflows for digitization and preservation, and the impact of this work on the community at large.
