Descrição: Utah’s libraries were perceived as instruments for “the establishment of a recognized social order” by each successive group that came to power and were often founded as the result of conflict between Mormon culture and the larger American society. On their arrival, Mormons established libraries primarily to provide access to information necessary to the practical aspects of establishing their new utopian “Kingdom of God.” As conflict with the mainstream culture grew, religious, political, economic, and social groups in American society looked to libraries to eradicate polygamy; undermine the Mormon religion, culture, and political power; and establish the recognized American social order as the dominant culture in Utah. The period of conflict was followed by reconciliation, unification, and assimilation as the Mormon Church and society abandoned its utopian ideology and sought acceptance into the greater culture of the United States. Utah’s women, previously sharply divided, organized into women’s clubs and literary societies to found these institutions. By 1910, the public library in Utah had become an institution of a generally accepted American secular social order.
