Storytime turned legendary as New York Liberty Center Jonquel Jones hosted an afternoon of reading, rhymes, songs, and art and crafts at the Crown Heights library on Aug. 27.

Families, fans, and book lovers of all ages filled the library, listening attentively as the 2024 WNBA Finals MVP and Bahamian native read from her two favorite books, “I am My Caribbean Culture” by Malissa Y. Saul-Angus and “Hello Grandma” by Robert E. Constant, inspiring her young fans to explore the joy of reading, and anecdotes about her family visits in the Bahamas.

After the reading, Jones took a time-out to sign autographs and take selfies with fans before showcasing her arts and crafts skills, creating a Caribbean carnival mask in time for the West Indian Day Parade on Sept. 1.
