If you have not already visited your library and shared some love, there is still time to add your thoughts to the Valentine Box. One patron shared,"My children can't wait to get to the library!"

Please visit your favorite DeKalb County Public Library location, look for their Valentine Box, and fill out your own "I Love My Library" card.

During this Black History Month, young patrons at the Redan-Trotti Library learned about Philip B. Downing, inventor of the mailbox, and crafted their own colorful mailboxes.
