All are Welcome!*

Thank you to all who volunteer, donate and support ending hunger in our community. In order to facilitate 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!

11.)    Friday, May 6, 2016: Art InsideOUT;  Art Exhibits in Narberth
Narberth’s First Friday in May is always special because the Borough celebrates the launch of NarbART month. For
the month of May, shops and restaurants in downtown Narberth display original artwork, with a common theme, in
their windows. This year's NarbART Month has a “Night” theme: think sunsets and starry nights, with owls, bats &
night creatures, the moon and constellations, evening celebrations, and dancing like spirits in the night!
On May 6, Narberth’s First Friday will also mark the official public launch of the Inside Out art exhibit, from the
Philadelphia Museum of Art. This installation brings reproduction of eleven pieces of art, from inside the museum,
outside to the streets of Narberth. There will be a ceremony for the official launch at 7pm in Station Circle.
From 5pm to 9pm will be an especially festive First Friday, where locals stroll the downtown to see the art, and
enjoy open houses in the shops, an art “scavenger hunt”, crafts for the kids, dinner and drink specials in the
restaurants, and live music on the sidewalks.
If you can’t make it that evening, come out during the May 15, Spring Music & Arts Festival, or just visit the
Borough any time during the exhibit’s stay, through July 12.  Adults or kids who want to get involved should contact
info@narberthonline.com.
