The Lee County Library System is celebrating Library Appreciation Month throughout February, by inviting patrons to tell us why you love your library. Each library in the Lee County Library System is providing postcards showing candy hearts with reading-related messages. Patrons are invited to complete the phrase “I Love My Library Because…” and can submit their comments at the library or through the mail. The candy heart theme is also on bookmarks that patrons can pick up at any LCLS location, and on posters highlighting each library’s friends group or volunteer opportunities.
