Grand Lake's public library is a gem. For such a small town, this library is well equiped and a great spot to take kids or to flip through a magazine (they also rent DVDs). It has a large stone fireplace to get cozy when the weather is cold. The library has work tables, window seats and a small room for a study group or if you need a quiet space. The staff is extremely helpful.
