Layton Utah FamilySearch Center/Group Visits

Commons Area - Main Research Room

The Center has 66 desktop computers in the main research area. All Center computers have internet access. Personal laptops can also be connected to the internet via high-speed wifi. Many helpful research resources are available from the desktops of the Center's computers and include free use of many subscription websites, use of popular data management programs, and direct internet links to other resources.

We do reserve times for groups to use the classrooms for instruction or group work. We also reserve areas for large group activities such as Youth Conferences, Family History Days, and other activities. Click on the links below to see what has been reserved and to make your reservation request. Be sure to check the home page to be sure we are open for the times you request. All requests must be approved before they become reservations. We will contact you when your request has been approved.

As you plan for your visit the following may help. We do have an area where refreshments can be served. Please do not take food or drink into computers areas.

We have 3 classrooms that can be reserved. Classroom A holds 16 people, Classroom B holds 25 and Classroom C holds 18. The Classrooms can be opened up to combine into a larger room if needed. Classes that are taught at the center normally run for about an hour and a half.

We ask that you project how many people you will have come to the center so that we can schedule the rooms according to your needs. Please try not to over project by too much as this will not allow others who may come to the center to do so, or under project as you will not have enough seats reserved.

If you need to Cancel your reservation, please do so from the "What Has Already Been Reserved" sheet below.

If you would like a Group Tour select "Group Tours" in the right navigation area.
