Kids enjoy a spa day at Mentor Library

There’s nothing wrong with treating yourself on Valentine’s Day.

That was the message the Mentor Public Library had for the 50 girls who came to a special Spa Day Saturday afternoon, on Feb. 15, at the library’s Main Branch.

The girls made facial masks, decorated their own flip-flops with pieces of fleece, painted their nails and even took home bags of bath beads.

“More than anything, we wanted the girls to relax and have fun. But we also want to help them treat themselves well,” said Kim Sidorick, the manager of Mentor Public Library’s children’s services department. “Some people put a lot of emphasis on Valentine’s Day. We wanted to show these girls that there is nothing wrong with being your own valentine.”
