Immigrant Sunset Park Library employee recognized for 22 years of service
A beloved Sunset Park Library employee’s impact will live on.
On April 17, 64-year-old Indian native Kokila Frank was honored in front of family, friends, neighbors and colleagues ahead of Community Board 7’s monthly meeting when Councilmember Carlos Menchaca presented her with a proclamation for her 20-plus years of service to both the branch and the Sunset Park community.
“When people talk about the library, they talk about you,” Menchaca told Frank. “When they talk about the future of the library, they talk about you and the dedication you gave — not just as a volunteer but as someone who understood the value of what a library is.
