The Community Thanks You Dr. Jal!

Thank you Doctor Jalkennen Joseph

The Pohnpei Public Library was honored to welcome Dr. Jalkennen Joseph to our Story Hour, where he spent time with our young readers sharing words of encouragement, inspiration, and hope for the future. Dr. Joseph spoke to the children about the importance of aiming high, working hard, and believing in themselves. He reminded them that with dedication and perseverance, they too can achieve their dreams — even becoming American doctors, just like him.

The children listened with excitement and curiosity as Dr. Joseph shared his journey and encouraged them to value education, reading, and lifelong learning. His visit made a lasting impression, motivating our young patrons to dream big and see endless possibilities for their futures.

On behalf of the Friends of the Pohnpei Public Library Board Members, staff, and our community, we extend our heartfelt thank you to Dr. Jalkennen Joseph for taking the time to visit, inspire, and uplift our children. Your words were meaningful and impactful, and your presence truly enriched our Story Hour program.

We are deeply grateful for your support of literacy and youth development, and we sincerely hope to welcome you again at the Pohnpei Public Library in the future. Thank you for being a role model and for reminding our children that their dreams are valid and achievable.
