Kindness can take many forms, and its effects can last a lifetime. “A World of Kindness,” paintings by Ocean County families to show what warmth and goodwill mean to them, will be on display throughout the month of November at the Ocean County Library’s Toms River branch.

The Ocean County Family Support Organization is the originator of the exhibit in the second-floor gallery. Families have translated the experience of acts of generosity into images on canvas.
