The Genesee District Library has started a Mister Rogers' Sweater Drive it will run through Nov. 30.
People have been encouraged to bring sweaters for children and adults to one of the 19 Genesee Area District Library locations around Genesee County, including Jack R. Winegarden Library in Fenton.
The sweater drive is a play off the show "Mister Rogers' Neighborhood," which aired on PBS from 1968 to 2001. The show featured host Fred Rogers, who was known for wearing a variety of sweaters.
