๐ฌ **Community Resource: Letโs Bring Back Postcards!**
When was the last time you mailed a postcard?
I recently participated in an activity where a college student wasnโt quite sure what to do with a postcard. And it made perfect sense, as many of todayโs young people have grown up with email, texting, social media, and instant messaging.
Thatโs why I thought this resource from the **South Carolina State Library** was such a fun idea! ๐
Postcards can give kids and teens a chance to practice something different while learning:
โ๐พ How to write a short message
๐ฎ Where the address goes
๐ฌ How something actually travels through the mail
๐ A fun way to connect with people and places beyond a screen
Sometimes community resources don't have to address a crisis or solve a major problem. Sometimes they can simply help us **learn, connect, and try something new.**
Check out the South Carolina State Library activity and consider making it a family activity!

**Fun question:** Do the young people in your life know how to address and mail a postcard? ๐ฌ
