Did You Know?
We have an app! It’s called Aspen LiDA and is available in your app store. Prefer to use a web browser? Go to americanfork.aspendiscovery.org. Both options work to search the catalog, place items on hold, and find a list of your current check outs and due dates. The Aspen LiDA app provides easy access to your library card barcode that can be scanned at self checkout or Main Desk; no more digging for your wallet or key chain! Forgot your PIN? There is a reset PIN link in both the app and web version on the sign-in page. The link will be emailed to you once you enter your library card barcode. Suggest A Book through our catalog, app, or website and be notified when we purchase it. You’ll automatically be put on hold if we order the book you suggest. (Please note that Libby suggestions must be done through the Libby app Notify Me tags, more info here.) Watch our social media for more in-depth tips and tricks!

| Library Stories
"I have one vivid memory of my mother who died when I was four years old. We checked out a book at the old library and sat in the park under a tree and read our book together. The AF Library will always be special to me because of that."
Thanks Polly for sharing your tender memory of your mother and the library with us!
Tell us your American Fork Library story! Whether it's a cherished memory like Polly's or a more recent moment, we'd love to hear how the library has been part of your life. |

Tensions run as hot as the Khamsin winds in the great kingdom of Khetara. Rumors of the pharaoh's mysterious illness abound, and with them, murmurs of rebellion grow. Meanwhile, in the quiet desert, a forgotten oracle begins to unfold, setting a dark prophecy into action and drawing together four strangers.
Bloodshed is coming. Only together do the four have the potential to save the kingdom from destruction. But when the dust has settled, who will sit on the throne of Khetara?
