It is great to see that our libraries are beginning to reopen, even if it is only for to-go services,” said State Senator Joseph P. Addabbo, Jr. “With the announcement of five additional branches available for to-go services — including two in my district: Howard Beach and Middle Village — it brings the total number of Queens Public Library branches that are open to 39. These branches will be open three days a week and will have daily cleaning times where the branches will be closed for one hour. Each location is ready to start taking requests today. The reopening of our libraries is a positive step towards recovery from the pandemic and normalcy in our lives.
