Summit County's Kimball Junction library branch will reopen inside the PEAK Center on Saturday, Oct. 3, with a grand opening celebration that includes a community book brigade, free food trucks and family activities, according to a Summit County newsletter.

The event runs from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at 6301 N. Landmark Drive in Kimball Junction. The centerpiece is a human chain of volunteers passing books from the library's former home in the Sheldon Richins Building to the new branch around 1 p.m.

Volunteers will not be hauling the full collection. The brigade will ceremonially move 24 titles from the library's "One Book, One Community" program, which has run annually since 2003. The final book in the chain will be this year's selection, "Go as a River" by Shelley Read.

"I actually think it's going to look really cool to have the books go as a river," Library Director Daniel Compton said on KPCW on Sept. 8. Compton said the library plans to film the brigade with a GoPro and a drone.

The new branch occupies about 10,500 square feet inside the PEAK Center, the former Skullcandy headquarters that Summit County purchased for $17.5 million using a $30 million bond. The county spent roughly $8.1 million on renovations, according to the Park Record. The building will also house DMV offices, council meeting space and county workspace.

Inside the library, residents will find conference rooms, study rooms, a computer lab and the Acorn Room for children's programming.

The Kimball Junction branch closed Aug. 16 to prepare for the move. Before closing, the library ran a "Check Out the Move" promotion encouraging patrons to borrow books ahead of the relocation. Residents checked out about 15,000 volumes, roughly 35% of the branch's nearly 30,000-item collection, saving staff from having to box and haul them.

On Sept. 8, Compton told KPCW that construction on the library side of the PEAK Center was still underway. The second floor and auditorium area were also being finished.

The Richins Building is expected to eventually be demolished. Summit County is partnering with a developer to replace it with a plaza surrounded by housing, businesses and other services, with a pedestrian bridge across state Route 224.

The library's Coalville and Kamas Valley branches remained open throughout the move.
