Sometimes a small act of kindness travels further than we will ever know. 🥹🩷
A patron left this beautiful note on our pantry outside the library, and it completely melted our hearts: “Thank you to the couple that dropped off so many canned goods and fruit. You’ll never know how much I needed this. Ty Villa Rica Library for the little pantry. This nomad can carry on a bit further thanks to you.”
To the anonymous couple who dropped off those groceries: thanks you for looking out for your neighbors. And to our traveling friends: we are so glad our paths crossed, and we are wishing you nothing but safe travels on the road ahead.
