Mesa Public Library is collecting Valentine's cards to deliver to Mesas homebound and assisted living residents. The library will hold Valentine's events for a seventh year to encourage our community to spread love and appreciation during February. Supplies will be provided, and attendees can keep the valentines they create or donate them to be distributed.
"One small kind gesture can brighten someone's day. Mesa Library Valentine's Day card drive is one way to tell our seniors that we care about them," said Mesa Library Director Polly Bonnett. "I want to invite everyone to join us in making or donating cards."
The Valentine-making sessions will take place at our full-service locations from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. on the following dates:
Tuesday, Feb. 4 at the Red Mountain Library, 635 N. Power Road
Wednesday, Feb. 5 at the Dobson Ranch Library, 2425 S. Dobson Road
Thursday, Feb. 6, at the Main Library, 64 E. First St.
Mesa Library encourages residents unable to participate in the card-making sessions to make their own at home or buy Valentines and bring them to any of our Main, Dobson, and Red Mountain locations Monday, Feb. 3 through Saturday, Feb. 8.
Last year, the library distributed 2,275 Valentines to 37 senior facilities and homebound residents.
