Important Expansions, Renovations and Technology Across 12 Branches

QUEENS, NY – Borough President Melinda Katz announced an allocation of $14 million of her Fiscal Year 2016 discretionary capital funds for important expansions, renovations and technology across 12 library branches throughout the borough.

“The millions of families who rely on the Queens Library services deserve nothing less than a world-class library system,” said Borough President KATZ. “The Board of Trustees – which the Mayor and I reformed in 2014 thanks to prompt state legislation – continues to move the Library in the right direction consistent with its educational purpose. This capital allocation will help ensure the Queens Library branches remain up-to-date and better able to serve its educational purpose as a community hub of learning, literacy and culture.”

“On behalf of the Board of Trustees, I want to thank Borough President Katz for her significant support in allocating $14 million in capital funding to Queens Library,” said Queens Library Board of Trustees Chair CARL S. KOERNER.  “It will allow the library to substantially upgrade its infrastructure, providing a better environment for library customers.”
