When Angelo Pecunia’s granddaughter Bianca was just one year old, he brought her to the Great Kills Library and let her pick out as many books as she wanted. Over the years, the two have found a home at the Library, where Angelo teaches Bianca the importance of reading, and Bianca teaches Angelo the joys of youthful imagination and discovery. In this week’s Library Story, find out how Angelo comes to the Library not only to help his granddaughter, but to build a loving and lasting relationship with her as well.
