In this episode of Pull Up a Chair: The Marple Newtown Community Podcast, host Cheryl Grosso sits down with Cindi Young to talk about Once Upon a Run, a special community event supporting the Newtown Township Public Library.

Planned by the dedicated volunteers of the Friends of the Newtown Township Public Library, this unique event brings neighbors together to celebrate reading, community, and the many programs our local library provides for residents of all ages.

Cindi shares how the event came together, what participants can expect, and the many ways community members can get involved—whether by running, walking, dressing up, volunteering, or simply showing up to support the library.

Libraries are more than just places to borrow books—they’re hubs for learning, connection, and opportunity. Join us for this conversation about community spirit, local leadership, and how a fun event can make a meaningful impact.

Topics in this episode:

• The story behind Once Upon a Run

• How the community supports the library

• Ways to participate in the event
