Kindness Rocks

Adults, children and families are invited to paint kindness rocks for the Library's Kindness Rocks Garden located near the entrance of the building. All supplies will be provided. Rocks will be painted with messages of kindness and placed in the library's Kindness Rocks Garden. Join us for this last painting event this calendar year. The garden will be put to bed in October until next spring. The Kindness Rocks Project is an international initiative that aims to spread kindness, happiness and show signs of encouragement to others.

International Dot Day
Friday, September 14
2 - 4:30 pm
Get creative. International Dot Day is a a global event that's celebrates creativity. Join the Children's Librarians as together everyone will create an individual piece of art as well as a collaborative art project that encourages creativity by simply starting with a dot. Adults, children and families are welcome to drop-in. No art experience is necessary- just a desire to express yourself creatively.
The event is based on Peter H. Reynolds’ book The Dot, the story of a caring teacher who dares a doubting student to trust in her own abilities by being brave enough to “make her mark”. What begins with a small dot on a piece of paper becomes a breakthrough in confidence and courage, igniting a journey of self-discovery and sharing, which has gone on to inspire countless children and adults around the globe. The book may be placed on hold through the Library's catalog or viewed online through Tumblebooks, the Library's online database of animated books. To view the book through Tumblebooks (no downloading necessary), visit seekonkpl.org/children, then Tumblebooks, then search for The Dot.
