Ep. 11 "Phoenix" | Library Stories
Juan Nolasco's Library Story is one of rising from the ashes. He became homeless after the death of his mother, but the staff and resources at the 125th Street Library were there to help him pick himself up and become the artist he is today.
Ep. 6 "Phoenix" | Library Stories"I chose as my symbol the phoenix, because the phoenix is a bird that rises from its ashes...I think that's what happened with me." - Artist Juan Nolasco
