SALT LAKE CITY — Salt Lake City libraries will close for all in-person services beginning Wednesday due to the spread of COVID-19 in Utah.

Closures will remain in place for at least two weeks. Library officials say they will consider reopening Express in-person services when the state reaches a rolling 7-day positivity testing rate below 15 percent.
