Opened in June 2024, Heartwood Little Free Library is a community hub for book lovers in West Valley City, Utah. This neighborhood library welcomes residents to browse and borrow books for free, or donate gently used reads to share with others, fostering a love of literature within the community.


The Heartwood Little Free Library commits to amplifying BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, and other marginalized voices by providing diverse books. We have signed the "Read In Color" pledge. We want people from all walks of life to feel celebrated, loved, and welcomed. We share banned books because we believe everyone's voice deserves to be heard.


You can join our online book club or donate a book from our wishlist on Bookshop!


Don't forget to check in on the Little Free Library mobile app to let us know you visited!
