SALT LAKE CITY — The FamilySearch Family History Library in Salt Lake City is adding additional hours to its schedule as it moves into Phase 2 reopening plans.
The change is all part of the phased reopening of Temple Square, which is owned by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
According to Church officials, the library will be adding Saturdays to their normal operating hours beginning Nov. 6.
That means the Family History Library, located on 35 North and West Temple Street, will now be open to the public Monday through Saturday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
“No reservations needed unless group is over 20 or a room is required,” read the FamilySearch website.
