Sergio: My dream always was to become a citizen of the United States.
Thanks to the Los Angeles Public Library my dream came true.
Last year I saw a sign for the citizenship class here in the library.
I was here every Saturday for three months.
I borrowed CDs, flashcards, and books to practice and study at home.
Francisca: He encouraged me to take the class and we studied and practiced together.
Sergio: I became a citizen April 10 of 2014.
Francisca: And I became citizen five months later.
When a new family moves to the community I tell them the most important place is the
library.
A place where everyone is welcome.
Sergio: And their dreams can come true.
