One CommUNITY, Many Voices

Celebrating Freedom of Thought and Belief

Drop in Jan. 11–21 to decorate a paper quilt square reflecting on kindness, belonging, and shared values that staff will assemble into a unified paper quilt.

Celebrate freedom of thought, kindness, and connection with our all-ages collaborative art project: One CommUNITY, Many Voices. In honor of National Religious Freedom Day and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s vision of the "Beloved Community," this self-guided activity invites patrons to reflect on how different perspectives strengthen our shared neighborhood.

Stop by the library during regular open hours to take part in this two-stage program:

Creation and Collection (Jan. 11–21): Visit the activity station to pick up cardstock squares, art supplies, and prompts. Answer or illustrate ideas such as:

• What makes you feel welcome and included?
• What tradition, value, or belief brings your family joy?
• How do we show respect and kindness to neighbors whose ideas differ from ours?
• What does freedom of thought mean to you?

Community Exhibition (Jan. 25–29): Visit the library to admire and reflect on the completed commUNITY quilt.

This program is generously funded in part by Friends of Forks Library.
