Get a Library eCard

Anyone can sign up for a County Library eCard to enjoy immediate access to the Salt Lake County Library Digital Library, including eBooks and eAudiobooks. To enhance your library experience with the ability to borrow physical materials, any eCard can be upgraded to a full-access library card by visiting a library location in person.

Library at Your Door

Alta residents are also eligible to participate in the Library at Your Door program to have library materials mailed directly to your Alta PO Box! This is a free service offered by the Salt Lake County library to anyone who might be challenged to visit a library branch in person but still prefers physical books over electronic ones.

In summer 2020, the Town of Alta hired Ennead Architects to conduct a feasibility study on the construction of a new community center facility.
