Derby Public Library to mark 'Won't You Be My Neighbor Day' Saturday

"Won't You Be My Neighbor Day" (All Ages)
March 23, 10 a.m.-1 p.m.
*No Registration Required

In recognition of the late Fred Rogers’ birthday on March 20, a nationwide initiative celebrates his legacy of kindness and bringing neighborhoods together.

All ages are invited to stop by [Derby Public Library, 313 Elizabeth St.] between 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. on this neighborly day to enhance the Library’s sidewalks with some artistic sidewalk chalk drawing (weather permitting, chalk provided).

At 10:30, join crafting fun with Lisa Lupa of Quirky Bird Crafting. Create a unique ping-pong ball project during this drop-in program.

Design a bookmark or another project at the DIY Station to share with a friend or neighbor on this day of kindness and caring.

Also, check out book displays, featuring several written by Fred Rogers, along with other theme-related titles. Spend some quality time reading or just hanging out with a friend, neighbor or family member.

A special thanks to the Friends of Derby Public Library for their generosity in donating a portion of the craft supplies for this event.
