All Weber Reads Events Weber Reads is funded in part by a generous donation from the Ralph Nye Charitable Foundation Weber Reads What is Weber Reads? The Weber Reads program was developed in 2008 with the goal of providing opportunities for community-wide reading, reflecting, and engagement in meaningful dialogue. The annual Weber Reads program provides opportunities for community-wide reading, reflecting, and engagement. Each year, texts or themes are selected that help illuminate experiences and beliefs while transcending group values to unite us as human beings. The American Library Association has three times chosen Weber Reads to receive its Community Reading Program “Best of Show” award. Weber Reads is funded in part by a generous donation from the Ralph Nye Charitable Foundation. Weber Reads is now in its 19th year. Sponsored jointly by the Weber County Commission and the Weber County Library System, Weber Reads encourages discovery, reflection, and engagement in meaningful dialogue around a yearly topic as we read books; listen to presentations; watch films; and, most importantly, talk and learn from one another. 2025 Theme: Extraordinary Earth "The green earth, say you?

A Friends of the Library group was first organized in Ogden during 1961 to promote improved library service for Ogden City and the surrounding County. Their first major project was to develop a campaign that eventually lead to the construction of the present Main Library. Home > About > Friends of the Library > Friends of the Library Become a Friend of the Library Volunteer A Friends of the Library group was first organized in Ogden during 1961 to promote improved library service for Ogden City and the surrounding County. Their first major project was to develop a campaign that eventually lead to the construction of the present Main Library. During 1964, the Friends successfully lobbied the Utah State Legislature to pass a bill that allowed libraries to be organized countywide. Until this time, only cities were authorized to provide library service. The Ogden Friends also organized and successfully ran a campaign advocating passage of a general obligation bond, December 8, 1964, to provide funding for the Main Library. With the passage of the law and the bond, the Weber County Library system was born. Friends of the Weber County Library was officially organized October 23, 1967, in preparation for the opening of the new Main Library, April 4, 1968. Since then, the Friends have continued to support the Library in obtaining funding for new buildings and services. At different times over the years, the Friends have also been on the front-line defending the freedom to read and to know, sponsoring programs such as poetry readings, lectures, and book discussions. Friends of Libraries around the country have become more than participants in providing money and volunteer service. They are advocates for the library. They are emissaries and good will ambassadors. Friends make more Friends by their enthusiasm and continued support of their libraries’ goals and missions. You may join the Friends of the Weber County Library by mailing your donation of $15 or more to: Friends of the Weber County Library, 2039 W 4000 S, Roy, Utah 84067.
