Grygla 5 Year Anniversary

Grygla Library

The Grygla library recently celebrated their 5 year anniversary with an open house. NWRL Director Kristi Harms and Marshall County Board Member Joni Anderson attended the event. People who came enjoyed cake and got the chance to win some prizes. Viola Wikstrom won the adult prize and Cooper Aune won the child prize.

We want to thank everyone who attended the open house. A big thank you to the Grygla community for supporting the library. Without their support there would be no library. And an extra big thank you to Karen Olufson who has been with the Grygla library from the start, she works very hard and is very much appreciated.

The Northwest Regional Library has been glad to serve the Grygla community for 5 years and hopes to continue for many more.
