Just Kids from the Bronx: Telling It the Way It Was: An Oral History | 
The last time we were in NYC, my hubby wanted to proudly show off the library in the neighborhood he grew up in. The Bronx has 1.5 million people and 30% (which is nearly a half a million of the population), live below the poverty line. The Bronx has the kind of poverty in America that most people don't see because we don't go there. I think that this particular library has the ability to change lives. And as a Bronx native, my hubby thinks so too

[DELETED] 3803335244 I think your so right, libraries do change lives. We lived in a rural area, a book mobile came our way once a week. You could find me there waiting on that day! 8y
