Jennifer Hodges, senior librarian, came up with the “JBKindness Rocks” group, to paint rocks to help spread kindness.

The library supplied rocks, paint and brushes at the May 20 session for those who wanted to make their own rock creations to hide in plain sight throughout their communities or pass along to a family member. Participants also could bring their own rocks.

The creations ranged from flowers to animals, and from notes of encouragement to abstract images.

Another rock-painting party is being planned prior to school starting again in August.
