The Children's Library is partnering with Honor Flight Dayton, Robyn Barnhart, and Best Friends Pet Assisted Therapy to provide THANK YOU LETTERS for veterans leaving on an Honor Flight October 15, 2022. Letters should be dropped off (or if a school, ready for pickup) no later than Monday, October 10th.
