Choose Civility is an ongoing community-wide initiative, led by Howard County Library System, to position Howard County, Maryland as a model of civility. The initiative intends to enhance respect, empathy, consideration and tolerance in Howard County and with all those that we reach.  We invite all within our community, as well as other communities around the nation, to participate.

Because little things we do during the day can make our community stronger and can inspire others to pay those kindnesses forward, this year’s Civility theme is Kindness Creates Community.
