I am here for literature, art, and to learn. I am working on my master’s in English Literature and hope to eventually obtain a PhD with an emphasis on British Literature.

Line of people waiting to get into the New York Public Library during the holiday week. Libraries are essential community resources. They deserve to be funded, supported, and defended.
