Random Acts of Kindness 
A woman in Maine is spotted putting quarters in expired parking meters. A young man in Seattle is seen helping an older woman carry her groceries to the car (he does not work for the grocery store). A teen-aged girl in Louisville is seen giving the public librarian a carnation.

What do these events have in common? They are all "Random Acts of Kindness." A random act of kindness is when you do something nice for someone--not because you were told to, not because you have to, not because it is the "right" thing to do. You do it because you just feel like being nice!

What does this have to do with Teen Summer Reading? If you perform a random act of kindness, you can count that toward your requirements for completing the Summer Reading program! You get rewarded--just for being nice.

Want to kill two birds with one stone? Post your random act of kidness on this blog and we can count that toward your TSR requirements as well!

The library means to me.... I get to check out good books that I can read. You can get on the computers to help you with your homework. You can go to different teens event at the library. That's what I think what the library means to me!

So I was siting out on the library steps waiting for my mothe to come pick me up from the library and it was the same thing that day, a man, clearly homeless by noting the 'things' he pushed around in his luxury shopping cart. Insead of just passing me with a kind wave, he left his things at the bottom of the stares and carefully approached a library employe as he was exiting the building and kindly BEGGED for a drink, or at least one from a water fountain. after continuously doing this the man rudely replied, "No!" And walked away in all his false beauty. So! I, with my half drunken soda at hand, offered the frink to him, and he gladly took it with a simple, "Thank you!" Long story short, he was done with it by the time he reached the end of the stairs. Okay,mayb it wasnt so random, but hey, it was kind, right?

I cut the grass of my neighbor John, and him and his wife both have heart conditions and are unable to cut it. I also was at the Post Office the other day, and me and my mom had to buy a package of stamps, but it turned ou that we didn't really need them. Another lady walked up, needing only one stamp, and I gave her one so that she could save a few cents and everything. My mom always says that when you do a random act of kindness, it comes back to you ten fold :)

My little sister always asks for at least 2 or 3 cups of water per meal. ( I don't know how she holds it all because she's tiny.) This time, I asked her if she needed a drink instead of waiting for her to ask. I also played a trivia game with her and she enjoyed it. :D
