What makes us feel good? When we give and receive kindness! During this past summer, Vaughan Public Libraries hosted several Makers With a Cause – Cards for Seniors programs, where members of our community composed and designed their own hand-made cards that were sent to the Sending Sunshine initiative, which delivers the cards to older adults in Canada, including those in care facilities. During a session I hosted, over a dozen participants, mostly teenagers, were actively engaged and collaborated in the card-making process. Between three VPL branches, over 100 cards were made! We’re very grateful for these teens and participants for dedicating time out of their busy schedules to spread some sunshine!

Since tomorrow is World Kindness Day, which occurs every year on November 13^th, I wanted to present you all with a little post on kindness. Hopefully we can glean a few ideas, whether big or small, and spread some joy to our families and communities!
