The Simple Faith of Mister Rogers

By: Amy Hollingsworth

Reviewed by: Georgia Rindler

Fred Rogers was known by many as the fellow on the PBS television show who changed his shoes and zipped up his sweater at the beginning of each episode. Children loved him, adults didn't understand him and comics poked fun at him. 

History

The Coldwater Public Library was founded in 1936 when a group of interested citizens under the leadership of the mayor decided that a library would be a vital part of the educational and recreational reading of the residents of Coldwater.
