Author Talk: Claire Jimenez on Staten Island Stories

Join us each month for our Lunch and Learn Series – an intimate conversation with agency staff and special guests on the collections of the Municipal Archives and Library, as well as the history of New York City.

In December, join Claire Jimenez for an intimate talk about the creative process behind her award-winning literary project, “Staten Island Stories” – a fresh, fun, and compelling book about the defining moments in the island’s rich multicultural history. From the 2003 Staten Island Ferry crash and the New York City blackout to the growing opioid and heroin crisis and the unique political identity of New York City’s lesser-known borough: Staten Island.
