Hello Grand Junction.
I'm sure several of you may have been wandering why the Library was closed for 2 weeks during Christmas and New Years. The Library was being painted as well as a wonderful mural was painted in the foyer. The mural depicts Dr. Seuss, Curious George, Mother Goose, Pinocchio and Horton from Horton Here's a Who! The mural looks just fabulous and the infamous artists and painters were Lynette Burns and Nan Hundemer from the painting business called "Just Add Paint", they specialize in painting murals. Make sure you try to go by the library and check it out.
