Bench said 25 students have been selected to read at the Layton Hills Mall store, and 10 in Bountiful, from 10:30 a.m to 12:45 p.m. Its just something fun to do. Bench said. Our goal is to increase our number of participants each year." The store manager said every school in the state will receive free books from the company through the program.

Layton Hills is the last of three major malls in Davis and Weber counties to become smoke-freOgden City Mall became smoke-fre- e in January when Weber County Health officials gave the mall administration a warning, that followed several other warnings, to comply with the Utah Indoor Clean Air Act. A health department official said the agency received several complaints about smoking in the Ogden mall. Under the act, designed to profrom irritation, tect pollution or hazards of secondhand smoke, public places that allow smoking must designate a specific enclosed area with separate ventilation and a physical barrier between smoking and nonsmoking sections. Newgate Mall has had a smoking policy for about three years with strict designated smoking areas. Newgate recently limited smoking to one side of the food court, a luxury the other malls dont have.
