About This Event

In a fast-paced digital world, there is magic in a handwritten note. Join us in cultivating community and kindness through the power of analog communication. Visit our interactive mailbox station to write an anonymous letter of encouragement to someone in need—whether it’s a stressed-out neighbor, a new parent, or someone freshly arrived in our community. Choose one of our writing prompts or create your own!

  • For Kids: Drop by to decorate and write a special postcard.
  • How it works: You write the words, leave them in our special library mailbox, and we’ll make sure they reach a reader who needs them most.
