When I was a kid, the libraries were always open on Saturdays. We've had huge budget surpluses for years so I don't know what took the Bloomberg administration so long to reopen the libraries.
FINALLY this city does something right!
There's a big problem at the Flushing library (Kissena and Main) .
It's being used at times, as a community or senior center for people to hang out read newspapers and chat.....a refuge from the hot or cold weather !
Not to exclude anyone....but that's NOT what a library is supposed to be used for !
I've actually seen some people fall asleep in library chairs that I needed to occupy in order to do some research !
Put on some more library guards Councilman Liu !
This is not an Asian social club !
