Provo City Library, Public library in Provo, United States.

Provo City Library occupies the former Brigham Young Academy building, a large schoolhouse of 1892 designed by principal Karl G. Maeser with architect Don Carlos Young, son of Brigham Young. It was one of the largest school buildings in the western Rocky Mountain region and could hold 1,000 students. Its bell tower received a nickel bell cast by the McShane Bell Foundry in Baltimore in 1919.

The institution began modestly in 1905 in a basement space before moving in 1908 to a new building made possible by a major donation. The current home, originally built in 1892, underwent a thorough renewal in the early 2000s.

The library runs the Fairy Tea, a formal tea party where guests over three wear fairy costumes or Sunday best; tickets go first to cardholders. AuthorLink brings authors such as Brandon Sanderson and Markus Zusak to speak. The Attic at Academy Square, a converted storage space, hosts free traveling exhibits.

The library stands at University Avenue and 550 North, serving Provo and Orem cardholders. Accounts may hold up to 250 items at once, all items check out for three weeks and renew twice unless someone is waiting. The Attic at Academy Square and the Basement Creative Lab are free to visit or use.

The bell tower stood empty until 1912; before that a triangle hung in the main hall was struck to signal classes. The 1912 bell sounded dull, so in 1919 a nickel bell cast by the McShane Bell Foundry in Baltimore, taken from the razed Provo Tabernacle, was installed in the tower.
