Valentine’s Day may be just another greeting-card holiday, but we’ll bet a box of chocolates that your sweetheart still expects to hear from you. Thanks to the University of British Columbia Library Vault, it’s not too late.
Using images from its special collections, the library has created Valentine’s Day greeting cards that you can send as electronic love letters. Ten different designs are available, with four that are specific to today’s holiday:
Love Conquers All — Amor vincit omnia
The Herald
Labour of Love
Claire de Lune
Each one arrives as a virtual postcard that tells the origin of the image and carries a personal message from the sender to the recipient. Most importantly, it’s absolutely free, and it gets you off the hook, you miserable lout. —Don Troop
