Wonderful quote, Meghan, thanks.

So I’m totally late on this but I haven’t had internet for awhile. My favorite quote was actually from Rick Turley’s prayer when he prayed that we would learn from and show reverence for the people whose lives are documented there in the library, “that when our lives are studied as thoroughly and meticulously, there may be found therein subjects worthy of emulation.”

That is really cool. I liked that the podium was from his old ward. My mother grew up in that ward when Pres. Monson was Bishop.

The ward and the chapel are long gone. It is all commercial now. My mother and her sister once went around to see the three remaining houses within the old sixth-seventh ward boundries. I’ll bet she’d love to have seen this and the podium.

Thank you for that write-up, Ardis. My mom has recently shared with me some of her research using the new Family Search. She has a stack of work to complete and much more research to do.

I look forward to a day when I have more time to assist with the research portion of the work and to one day have the privilege of visiting this new library.

I want to thank you also, Ardis. I enjoyed attending the open house with you and would like to have been to the dedication. But, an out-of-state family reunion won out. I probably won’t get down until next week.

It’s complete, Paula. The move was done ahead of schedule and under budget, and everything is set up in new quarters now. It has been for weeks, although they are finally opening the doors for work tomorrow morning. In twelve hours and 29 minutes, as a matter of fact. But who’s counting?

Thanks Ardis– and is everything transferred over now? One article in the Trib kind of was ambiguous on whether that was completed or not. I’m thinking I probably won’t make it in on this trip, but a girl can dream…

Paula, it on North Temple and Main — not quite directly across the street from the Church Office Building across North Temple, and directly across the street from the Conference Center across Main. 15 East North Temple.

This is a dumb question, probably, but where is the new library? I’ve been waiting for it to reopen, so I could check out something in Bikuben, a Danish language newspaper published in Utah, but just realized I don’t know where it is. I’m going to be in Utah for a few days at the end of this week, so maybe I can make it in to the library too. Is the catalog online? I know they have the newspaper, but no details.
