June 19, 2015 Edition of NarbNet!
Welcome to the Friday, June 19, 2015 Edition of NarbNet!
One should really go on more walking tours of Narberth.
This past Wednesday, Narberth welcomed the Montgomery County Planning Commission and guests from
other communities to the Boro to discuss our proposed Form-Based Zoning Code and afterwards, we had the
wonderful opportunity to walk the Borough and see how it was developed and how it will be implemented.
Narberth truly is beautiful.
To sum up our town, a comment was made that “Narberth with its walkability, streetscape amenities, range of
housing, transit-orientated development, strong downtown and community connection is a prime example of
new urbanism.”
Welcome to the new urbanism…
Happy Centennial Weekend Celebration Narbrook Park! (1915-2015)
Last Shout Out: Narberth is #2 (just behind Scarsdale, NY) as the best suburb to raise a family in America!

donations to the Narberth Food Bank, the Narberth Community Library has become a Drop Off point for
donations. There is a receptacle just inside the library front door, in front of the circulation desk. We hope this
will make it easier for library patrons and other Narberth citizens to drop off much needed donations at a time
that is convenient for them. The library is open from 10:00 to 8:00 - Monday thru Thursday and 10:00 to 5:00
- Friday and Saturday.
www.NarberthCivic.org/news is now publishing a self-updating notice of items currently needed for donation
to the food bank at the Narberth Family Resource Center. The needs change regularly, and so will this list. I
hope this will facilitate more efficient giving. Please remember the food bank! Even just a few extra cans or
items from a trip makes a difference. There is significant and regular need right here in Lower Merion &
Narberth. Check out the article space in the top right hand column of NarberthCivic.org/news under Family
Resource Center of Narberth. Thank you for your support!
