ASPIRAntes enjoyed a special morning of storytime with U.S. Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez at the Mott Haven Public Library!

Our youngest community readers from Bronx Community Board #1, ASPIRA of New York, and BronxWorks were encouraged to explore the joy of reading this summer, from signing up for a library card to joining Congressperson Ocasio-Cortez’s Summer Reading Challenge.

A summer of stories, learning, and community starts at the library! 📖 💙
