Tomorrow marks the beginning of the annual Thank-A-Vet Project! 🇺🇸

The Kern County Library’s annual Thank-A-Vet Art Card Project returns October 19–30! Next time you visit a library branch, take a moment to recognize local Veterans by creating handmade cards with artwork and messages of appreciation.

Each year, these cards offer a simple way for our community to say thank you to those who have served. With a few art supplies and a thoughtful message, patrons can help make this annual project meaningful for local Veterans.
