  • Tommy Hamby and Shauna Edson of the Salt Lake City Public Library share news of a new pilot program of laptop packs, which become available tomorrow morning for check out at Glendale, Day-Riverside, Chapman and Main branch locations. All you need is your library card to check out a laptop and wifi hotspot for 21 days. Visit slcpl.org/techleague for more details and signup for computer classes.
  • Tim Stay, CEO of The Other Side Academy, which needs the city to grant a conditional use for large groups and homes in order to expand its unique peer-to-peer program that helps participants rebuild their lives. TOSA's request goes before the SLC Planning Commission Tuesday, March 22, at 5:30 p.m. If you support their cause, they're looking for letters of support.
