Event Details

Won't You Be My Neighbor?  Fred McFeely Rogers was Born March 20th, so we celebrate this amazing man and TV host each year on this day. 

Fred's work in children's television has been widely lauded, and he received more than forty honorary degrees and several awards, including a Lifetime Achievement Emmy in 1997 and the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2002. He was inducted into the Television Hall of Fame in 1999. Rogers influenced many writers and producers of children's television shows, and his broadcasts provided comfort during tragic events, even after his death.   The SCPL Grief Kit has  content provided through PBS and the Fred Rogers foundations.  Thank you, Mr. Rogers.
