Did you know that there are approximately 98,000 Koreans living in New York City? According to data from the NYC Census, the city's Korean population is the third largest Asian ethnic group, behind Chinese and Indians. You can find more details in this Profile of New York City’s Korean Americans from the Asian American Federation (and remember to take the Census and make yourself count!)
We are delighted to share two upcoming programs happening on August 26th:
-
As part of our Summer Reading Celebration: KidsLIVE! Aram Kim Bilingual Storytime. (If you are interested in learning more about Aram Kim please check out this blog interview. )
-
And the first of a series of Online Book Discussions in Korean. Come share about what you've read or you are currently reading now. If you also have books you want to recommend to others, we're here for that!
