The Library is hosting Kindness Rocks this afternoon from 4-5PM. The Kindness Rocks Project has one simple goal: to promote random acts of kindness to unsuspecting recipients. By painting and dropping inspirational rocks in public areas, you can bring more kindness into the world. We’re providing the rocks and art supplies and you provide the inspiration and kind words. Paint the rocks at the library then drop them all over the Golden community. Please be respectful and Leave No Trace in our Open Spaces and protected areas. Suitable for any age.
