Florence-Lauderdale Public Library
Ellis Island was the entryway into the United States for millions of people — and their stories — at the turn of the 20th Century. Storyteller Dolores Hydock brings this snapshot of history to life through funny, tender stories that turn immigration data into a moving, human-scale story of what it was like to bravely “put down new roots” in a new world.
