“The library is the sanctuary. The librarian created a space for a student to share their story. You win the battle in little steps.” - Pablo Cartaya, 2025 #ssl2025 #NYLASSL #SSL25 #TLSky

Pablo Cartaya kicks off the #ssl2025 conference telling his story of his name and his abuela’s journey to America from Cuba. So inspiring to hear the story. #NYLASSL #SSL25
