The Library Engagement Team works in conjunction with the Salt Lake City Library employees to ensure the library is a safe and welcoming place to the entire community. We do this by providing training's for library staff on how to work with homeless individuals and by deescalating people within the building who are overwhelmed with the stresses of homelessness.
