Weber County library offers free, private in‑house AI for public use
Summary
Bryant Reader of the Weber County library said the library is hosting a private, in‑house artificial intelligence system that residents can use for free to learn about and experiment with AI.
Bryant Reader of the Weber County Library said the library is offering public access to a private, in‑house artificial intelligence system intended to help residents learn how to use AI. "We identified a need about a year ago with AI kind of dominating all the news headlines and we decided we needed to make it available to the public," Reader said.
Reader told the commission recap the library researched options, tested several solutions and selected a vendor able to provide an instance the library can host locally. He said the goal is to let people "come in and learn how to use it and hopefully improve their lives by using it." When asked how much it costs to use, Reader said, "It's free."
The moderator of the recap encouraged viewers to watch the first 30 minutes of the full commission meeting for Reader's full presentation. The discussion on the service in the recap did not include technical specifications, hours of availability, or details about vendor contracts; those items were not specified in the portion of the meeting transcribed here.
The library presentation was framed as a public‑service and educational resource; no formal vote or funding approval for the service was recorded in the transcript excerpt.
