BAKERSFIELD, CA - You can honor a local veteran in a unique way next week. In honor of Veterans Day on Tuesday, November 11, 2014, the Kern County Library invites you to stop by any Kern County Library branch during regular operating hours between Monday, November 10, 2014 and Saturday, November 15, 2014 to create a Thank-You Card for a local veteran.
Library officials say table space and supplies will be provided for families and anyone interested in expressing appreciation for veterans through a homemade Thank-You card.
At the end of the project, the Kern County Library will deliver all of the homemade Thank-You cards to the Kern County Veterans Services Department for distribution to local Kern County veterans. The Art Card Project is a part of a larger Cal Humanities grant funded state-wide community reading and discussion initiative, in which the Kern County Library is the coordinating agency for Kern County: Our Veterans, Our Communities.
The Art Card Project hopes to increase public understanding and empathy for those who have served. Through the creation of a Thank-You card, community members and families can show their appreciation and support to Kern County veterans, service members, and military families.
