We had a great time hosting events over the summer, including speaking with Dahlia Adler, editor of Out of Our League, as part of our NYPL The New York Public Library TeenLive series. Teens traveled to Port Richmond, Staten Island to learn about the determination, grit, and perseverance of women in sports, and took a copy of the book home with them as a souvenir.

We’re planning more events soon, so stay tuned for more info about our next session that's happening in October!
