Library Stories

Ep. 48 "I Can Do It" | Library Stories by The Library Stories ProjectOctober 4, 2016

Overcoming a fear of technology wasn't on the course description. But NYPL's Office Readiness Series gave James more than basic computer skills training when he was ready to look for a job. Although the classes were free, James says he considers them "extremely valuable."

Library Stories is a video series from The New York Public Library that shows what the Library means to our users, staff, donors, and communities through moving personal interviews.
