The library proudly hosted a public ceremony to celebrate the MCPL Adult Learning Center and to recognize the accomplishments of the students who worked diligently to become United States citizens. The offices of Senator John Flanagan, Assemblyman Doug Smith, Legislator Tom Muratore and Councilman Kevin LaValle honored the new citizens with certificates commemorating their achievements. This wonderful annual event was heartwarming for everyone in attendance.
