In November [[1998]] taxpayers were asked to fund the building of a new main [[library]] building [[downtown (Salt Lake City)|downtown]]. Voters approved a $84 million bond. Several [[architect]]s submitted plans, but the firm of [[Moshe Safdie]] and Associates was eventually chosen. Ground broke in October [[2000]] with construction completed in February 2003. The downtown library is inspired by the Central branch of the [[Vancouver Public Library]], also designed by Moshe Safdie and Associates.
