- Learn about local author Naz Mirsadeghi!
Hello. My name is Nazanin (Naz) Mirsadeghi. I was born in Iran and became a U.S. Citizen in September of 2006. I speak English, Persian (Farsi) and a little bit of Spanish. I moved to the United States in 1996 to join my husband who had just started working in New York City after finishing his studies. I also wanted to continue my own studies and raise my family here. I see myself spending more and more time at the library.
As we go through different stages of life, the type of materials we are interested in changes. Ten to fifteen years ago, my focus was more on providing my children with the best educational resources available, so we spent a lot of time at the children’s section of the library. Now that my children are grown, I have more time to focus on my own interests which may include advancing my knowledge of a language, learning more about my favorite subjects or simply reading for pleasure. All of them are possible with the vast collection of material available at the Greenburgh Library.
