Ep. 70 "I'll Forever Be Grateful" | Library Stories by The Library Stories ProjectMay 3, 2017

Ever since she arrived in the United States, Adriana has come to The New York Public Library to learn and to help others. Follow her progress from immigrant to manager of outreach services at NYPL, providing a wide range of programs to immigrants.

Libraries are more important than ever. They offer opportunities and hope for all New Yorkers—from free books and resources to free ESOL classes, family literacy workshops, and job search help. But more is needed. This is why the city’s three library systems are asking for you to add your name in support of more public funding for libraries.

Send a letter NOW asking the Mayor and City Council to invest in libraries.

You have come a long way Adrianna, from the first time you walked into New Dorp! You are an inspiration to other immigrants, by following your dream. You can relate easily to patrons who have the same drive to learn English and to have set their goal to become American citizens. Thank you for sharing your story with all of us.
