Happy ! In a world where kindness and compassion matter more than ever, let's take a moment to reflect on the words of Fred Rogers: "How do we make goodness attractive? By doing whatever we can do to bring courage to those whose lives move near our own--by treating our 'neighbor' at least as well as we treat ourselves and allowing that to inform everything that we produce."

Let's remember the importance of being good neighbors, not just in our communities but in the digital world as well. Let's spread kindness, support, and positivity with every post, comment, and interaction. Together, we can create a more compassionate and welcoming community!

While the Library can sometimes be a quiet, peaceful place, it also has moments as a chaotic wonderland of playful joy. So if you ever approach a staff member and they seem a bit frazzled or resemble a deer caught in headlights, remember they might have spent the last two hours singing the "Floor is Lava" while simultaneously making weird animal noises and blowing bubbles, but will still be happy to help you find those realistic fiction titles for your school assignment.
