Tell me about your journey to the United States. You have a college degree in English and Sociology from Sierra Leone and your first job was at TJ Maxx. And you moved on quickly. How has working at the Library shaped you? Tell me what you love about working at the Library. Talk about beautiful potential – you and your family have what you describe as the “American Dream” Working with the little ones, you’ve got to have a favorite book to read out loud Mo Willems says “One of the ways you grow is by starting over” All of us at the Library are so grateful to Lina and her bravery to start over in the United States. We are all richer because of her presence in our lives.
