Queens Memory: 60 Years of Central Library

Stop by our 60th Anniversary Show and Tell table to share a favorite story of Central Library and the Jamaica neighborhood, listen to interview clips from locals who have shared memories of their own, and view highlights from the Archives at QPL. The Queens Memory team will be available to help record brief interviews and share guided prompts for writing and drawing. Patrons of all ages are welcome!
