Kick-Off & Kona Ice
 Unfortunately, our scheduled magician made himself disappear and did not show up for our magic show events. We are so grateful for branch staff who pivoted beautifully to offer fun and engaging activities for families and kids of all ages. Kona Ice was a HUGE hit and provided a refreshing treat for everyone! Thanks so much to the Friends of Grand County Library for financially supporting all five kick-off events!
