I am the Leader of Guide Dogs for the Blind Puppy Raising Program in Salt Lake County. We are a non-profit organization who holds weekly meetings in Salt Lake County, in various places for the benefit of our future guide dogs. We have held meetings at Murray Library with no problems in the past, and were told that we could reserve the auditorium for our training meetings. We would like to reserve the auditorium once a month for the next few months, however, do not have a murray city library card. Will a Salt Lake County library card work to reserve the room?
