LIBAPF_160714_06.JPG: Alt Press Fest 2015 Steamroller Prints For the 2015 Alt Press Fest, local artist Andrew Rice brought together a number of Salt Lake City printmakers to create large-scale blocks loosely centered around the idea of playing cards. Each artist carved a 3.5-foot by 3-foot block that was able to interconnect with every other block at some key connection points. Two blocks were randomly combined and a steamroller was used to print the images on one large piece of paper that was approximately 3.5 feet by 6 feet. This exhibit features the original blocks and various prints created at the Alt Press Fest steamroller workshop on July 18, 2015.

Wikipedia Description: Salt Lake City Public Library
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Salt Lake City Public Library system's main branch building is an architecturally unique structure in Salt Lake City, Utah. It is located at 210 East, 400 South, across from the Salt Lake City and County Building and Washington Square.

History

The Salt Lake City Public Library was originally housed in the Salt Lake City and County Building in 1898. Thanks to a donation of land and money by a John Quackenbos Packard in 1900, a new library was built in downtown Salt Lake City; the building is now listed on the National Register of Historic Places. This library remained in use until it outgrew the building in the early 1960s. The city library was then moved to a new home across from the City and County Building at the intersection of 500 South and 200 East. The groundbreaking ceremony was held on December 28, 1962, and the building was dedicated on October 30, 1964. In 1965, the old library was renovated into the Hansen Planetarium, funded by a donation of $400,000 from Beatrice M. Hansen.

1994 hostage incident

On March 7, 1994, a gunman took several hostages in a conference room on the second floor of the old main branch building. The library was evacuated and SWAT teams were called in during a six-hour siege, which ended in the death of the gunman and the freeing of the hostages.

Move to the current location

After celebrating the library's 100th anniversary in early 1998, an $84 million library bond was approved to move the library north half a block to its current location. The firm Moshe Safdie and Associates partnered with local architecture firm, VCBO Architecture to design the building, which opened to the public on February 8, 2003. The former building is now The Leonardo museum.

On September 15, 2006, a small bomb exploded in the third floor of the main building. No one was hurt, and the damage sustained by the building was a broken window. Eastbound traffic on the ...More...

2016 photos: Seven relatively short trips this year: two Civil War Trust conference (Gettysburg, PA and West Point, NY, with a side-trip to New York City), my 11th consecutive San Diego Comic-Con trip (including sites in Utah, Nevada, and California), a quick trip to Michigan for Uncle Wayne's funeral, two additional trips to New York City, and a Civil Rights site trip to Alabama during the November elections. Being in places where people died to preserve the rights of minority voters made the Trumputin election even more depressing. Equipment this year: I continued to use my Fuji XS-1 cameras but, depending on the event, I also used a Nikon D7000. Number of photos taken this year: just over 610,000.
