Libraries take part in Be My Neighbor Day
Posted On: February 15, 2021
The Volusia County Public Library system will celebrate kindness throughout February through its “Be My Neighbor Day” partnership with WUCF TV.
The campaign’s goal is to promote family engagement, kindness and being a caring neighbor through kindness kits and three virtual events:
- The library system’s 14 branches will distribute 700 take-home kindness kits, which consist of family engagement activities, giveaways, and useful tips and information. Distribution begins Feb. 8 and will continue while supplies last.
- Volusia County’s library branches will also feature displays and two special Facebook Live storytimes celebrating “Neighbors” and “Love and Kindness” at 10 a.m. Feb. 16 and 18. The storytimes will be shown on the Volusia County Public Library Facebook page. Advance registration is not required.
- WUCF TV will air “GRR-IFIC Neighbors!” at 8:30 and 10 a.m. Feb. 27 and 28 to celebrate what it means to be a caring neighbor with music from the Orisirisi drummers, story time, yoga with Missie, and at-home activities.
The programs were made possible through support from PNC Grow Up Great®, Fred Rogers Productions and the Elizabeth Morse Genius Foundation.
