It is a creation that almost wasn’t. The Moon Family has traditionally built a gingerbread display for the Roosevelt Library. This year as the new library is under construction, the Roosevelt Branch Library just wasn’t able to facilitate the display but don’t worry, Roosevelt’s loss is the Uintah County Library’s gain.
