A visit from a very special neighbor!

It will be a beautiful day in the neighborhood on Saturday, April 24 when the Peters Township Public Library welcomes Mr. McFeely for a visit from 1:00-3:00 p.m. A long-time TV favorite, Mr. McFeely (aka David Newell) will be stopping by with several puppet friends from the “Neighborhood of Make-Believe” to share stories and songs with library patrons.

Fans of the Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood television show will remember Mr. Newell for his on-going performance as the neighborhood mailman “Mr. McFeely”, best known for his catchphrase: "Speedy delivery! Speedy delivery!" Residing in Pittsburgh, Newell is the director of public relations for Family Communications, Inc., a non-profit production company created in 1971 by Fred Rogers. He was recently featured in a documentary called Speedy Delivery, produced by several Carnegie Mellon University graduate students. Newell presently tours the country as “Mr. McFeely” promoting Mister Rogers' Neighborhood, the longest running children’s program on PBS.
