Create Valentines for Troops at the Bay County Library System

Valentine's Day can be a lonely time for the men and women serving overseas. Help the Bay County Library System tell these brave people how much they are appreciated by creating a special Valentine! Children and their families are invited to get creative and send an anonymous message, which is sure to brighten the hearts of anyone missing home on Valentine's Day.

Each branch of the Library System will supply all materials needed to make a great Valentine. Our project partner, Soldiers Angels, will distribute your loving creations to those serving overseas (please note that these cards cannot be delivered to specific individuals).

All you have to do is drop by at any library branch during the following times:

Sage Branch Library, 100 E. Midland St., Bay City Wed, Jan 5, 4-7 pm 892-8555 opt. #5
