If you live in the tri-state area and want to help celebrate Sesame Street<\/em>\u2019s 45th anniversary, you can head over to The New York Public Library, Donald and Mary Oenslager Gallery and view the free exhibit \u201cSomebody Come and Play: 45 Years of Sesame Street Helping Kids Grow Smarter, Stronger, and Kinder.\u201d<\/p>\n
