Thank you, neighbors.

The director and staff of Peoples Library wish to extend a sincere thanks to those generous community members who came out for "Won't You Be My Neighbor?" Day, a tribute to the spirit of Mister Rogers. Attendees were treated to an enjoyable performance by Stage Right!, as they celebrated Mister Rogers' messages of kindness and generosity.

On this day, we succeeded in collecting a total of 21 sweaters, which were then donated to a local organization who will distribute them free of charge to members of our community who are in need of warmth and clothing.

"We live in a world in which we need to share responsibility. It's easy to say "It's not my child, not my community, not my world, not my problem." Then there are those who see the need and respond. I consider those people my heroes." -— Fred Rogers
