Kindness Is Catching

Feb 12-19, 2022 is Random Acts of Kindness Week, and the entire city of Hoover is celebrating!  What is Hoover Public Library doing?  One of the big things is our kindness pledge wall along the main hallway.  Write YOUR kindness pledge on a paper heart, and add it to the Kindness Begins with Me display.  Of course, we are also ALWAYS the source for books on kindness.  Here are just a few of the latest titles available for checkout.
