This close to Valentine’s Day, it’s hardly worth noting that, for many of us, love has been on the brain. Whether you demonstrated your affections through cards, flowers, or other gifts, Feb. 14 was a perfect excuse to devote a day to showing someone special how much you care.

Stretching this spirit of endearment and generosity beyond the level of the individual person and day, the Mount Pleasant Regional Library is calling on the community to show this same bigheartedness on a larger, longer scale. Throughout the month of February, we have been excited to conduct a donation drive benefiting One80 Place, a local nonprofit whose mission is to prevent and end homelessness.
