Sesame Workshop, the nonprofit educational organization, in collaboration with The Jim Henson Company and the Jim Henson Legacy, is partnering with Brooklyn Public Library (BPL) to help commemorate Sesame Street’s 40th anniversary with a three-month exhibition of memorabilia at Central Library. This special collaboration will also include family programs, as well as a limited-edition Elmo-themed library card that will be released on Saturday, November 14, to encourage reading through new library card sign-ups.
"We are thrilled to partner with Sesame Street to celebrate their 40th anniversary,” said Dionne Mack-Harvin," Executive Director, Brooklyn Public Library. "BPL and Sesame Workshop share a longtime commitment to children's education and early literacy development. Our alliance to create a limited-edition Sesame Street library card is not only a unique opportunity to celebrate the program's reach across generations, but an exciting moment to cultivate a new set of young Brooklynites into lifelong learners and readers."
This multi-faceted exhibit explores the history of this beloved and honored children’s educational television show.
