Event Details
This month's book is The Good Neighbor: The Life and Work of Fred Rogers, by Maxwell King. Based on original interviews, oral histories, and archival documents, The Good Neighbor trace Rogers's personal, professional, and artistic life through decades of work, including a surprising decision to walk away from the show in 1976 to make television for adults, only to return to the neighborhood with increasingly sophisticated groups of episodes. Rogers's work and his messages still resonate with parents and children today, especially in a world where the human values he championed are too often forgotten or neglected. Books are available for check-out at the Tierrasanta Branch Library. 2nd Thursdays. For further information, contact Karen Boyd @ 858-888-2115.
