Remember to Be Kind 2/16/2022

This is Kindness Week!  Fill out a slip of paper at the library about an act of kindness and receive a Smartie and an entry into a drawing for a “Honey” of a prize.  Last week two littles stopped by and shared:  “I gave people candy and cookies.  I helped open a chocolate milk.  I helped pick up tissue paper.” “Dad helped me!” and “Mom helped me feel better.”  There’s nothing like someone to share their treats, their expertise, and their time.  And there’s nothing like the everyday kindness of Moms and Dads helping their kids through the day.  Share with us how kindness has inspired your day. We want to pass it on!
