Several area libraries again hosted displays for the month of September in 2023 to hightlight the International Day of Peace on September 21. In the photo above in the Waterford Library Adult area, books and DVDs purchased with our donation last year were on display and available to patrons. You can see the official United Nations poster for 2023 with the theme, "Actions for Peace" in the center. The display case on the right is in front of the Children's Library.
Thank you Waterford!

Here is Lorelei in front of our Citizens for Peace table at the Shop for a Cause event at Swords Into Plowshares Peace Gallery on November 23rd.
She came right up to ask if she could help us set up!
We invited her to pick one of the angels.
She picked the three angels, one with a fallen halo!
It goes with her shirt depicting Snuggle Buddies: a bear, a bunny and a cat!
We have so much to learn from Lorelei!
Be kind & helpful and be buddies with everyone!!

Thanks Lorelei!

What a wonderful Interfaith panel on Religion and Peace!
