We understand how difficult has been to say good-bye to these six remarkable young people (Grace, Hattie, Mabel, Essie, Ben & Zuzu) and their parents, Libby and Mike, especially for their friends whom they’ve grown up with. This family has been such a huge part of the library and its programs over the last 7 years – they will be missed!
