So glad to see a public library willing to 'stick its neck out' and support a religious-themed event! I'm assuming that you will promote and support similar events related to other faiths, as well? Learning about other people's faiths, customs and history is a sure way to reduce fear and hostility towards them. Thank you, staff, for taking this brave step!
