The new library at the Grand Street Settlement Day Care Center.

Margarita Rosa, Executive Director of the Grand Street Settlement, welcomes the audience to the library opening.

Ms. Toon of the Day Care Center and Mrs. Jackman of the Brooke Jackman Foundation cut the ribbon at the ceremony.

The children sang holiday songs as well as their ABC's for the audience.

The library not only provides a comfortable spot for an eager reader, but also a place where parents can read to their children. It is vital that listening skills be developed as early as possible to ensure reading readiness.
