Rebecca Baker, assistant manager of the Granite branch of the Salt Lake County library system, used the public-comment period to outline programs and services for November and December and to note the branch will serve as an in-person voting site and a mail-ballot drop-off on Nov. 4.

Baker described an ofrenda display running through Nov. 6, an all-day International Games Day open-play event on Nov. 1, and said the branch will open at 7 a.m. on Nov. 4 for in-person voting with mail-in ballots accepted in the Southport East portion of the branch parking lot. "Voting and mail in ballots must be turned in by 8PM that day," she said. She also listed a Nov. 7 session from Take Care Utah to help patrons access health insurance programs, a Dec. 1 start for the gingerbread-house drop-off and contest, and a Dec. 13 Scandinavian-inspired "hygge" event. Baker also noted the branch hosts Kids Cafe, a USDA- and Utah Food Bank-supported free meal program for children weekdays from 3:45 to 4:45 p.m.

Baker urged councilmembers and staff to share the Kids Cafe resource with constituents.
