The Today Show talks with Sonia Sotomayor, Supreme Court Justice and Hunt’s Point Library patron, about growing up in the Bronx, raised by a single mother after her alcoholic father died, and describes how Nancy Drew books and “Perry Mason” inspired her to become “the most important person in the room.”

… and Hunt’s Point Library makes an appearance as well!

NYPL’s Hunts Point Library received a surprise visit today from Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor! Justice Sotomayor was visiting her hometown and decided to pay a visit to her old library stomping grounds in the Bronx. The staff from the Library, along with one of our patrons, were pleased to welcome her back to the branch!
