MILO VENTIMIGLIA: LIBRARIES ARE POWERFUL
By admin on August 12, 2019
Actor, director, and producer Milo Ventimiglia, best known for his roles on television dramas "This is Us" and "Gilmore Girls," is starring in the Fox 2000 feature film “The Art of Racing in the Rain,” an adaptation of the international best-selling novel by Garth Stein.
And in a new video message recorded for the American Library Association, he highlights the power of libraries saying, "Stories bring people together, and that's why libraries are so powerful.
