Community & Kindness Through Art at RHPL
Visit the Youth Room to write a message of hope, a dream, or a wish on a colorful ribbon. RHPL staff will tie the ribbons to one of two garden arbors located outside of the library. The goal is to fill both arbors with colorful ribbons by the end of Summer Reading in mid-August.
