Cards of Cheer

Accepted at all branch locations through August 2021.

  • Be creative (use markers, colored pencils, etc.), but do not attach items or décor; no glitter.
  • Write a simple message that is encouraging and kind. Please keep messages non-religious
  • If you put the card in an envelope, please do not seal it.
  • Original, one-of-a-kind cards will be accepted. Please do not submit copies.
