My love for hiking was instilled in me as a child in the Austrian woods where I hiked with my parents on the weekends, searching for mushrooms which we then prepared with eggs for dinner. Nowadays, I do go hiking whenever possible and if it’s not possible then I "hike" the streets of New York City over the weekend--covering sometimes 10 miles or more.
Word of the Week: hiatus. As we celebrate this year's grads, continuing Touro students are simply on ✨hiatus✨until next semester. Don't forget, the summer semester starts on June 24th! #TouroLibraries #WordOfTheWeek

If you lived in 1944, you would be in your 90’s today. The amount of history one would have lived through would be immense. For the 16 million who served in WWII, fewer than 500,000 American veterans of World War II are believed to be alive today according to John Long from National D-day Memorial. So how can we learn about a moment in history that occurred before we were born?
Shout out to today's NYSCAS Grads! Don't forget that ✨commencement✨ isn't just about receiving a degree, it's the beginning of many exciting things to come! #TouroLibraries #WeAreTouro #WordOfTheWeek #ClassOf2019 #Graduation
