Eye On the Library

Dear Editor:

Congratulations, Mayor Mamdani!

I know you have a lot in front of you right now, but with your eye to increased public awareness and general knowledge, would you please have one of your new appointees look into reopening the library in Rockaway Park, Queens?

Our beautiful seaside library, central to the community, has been closed for OVER TWO YEARS for “HVAC repairs.” Our library, instead of collecting books, has been collecting cobwebs. All of us know that this is a sham and a shame.

The programs, literature, and PC availability is greatly missed by all age groups. Our many protests garner only more lies and delays. We have little open public places in which to interact here on this peninsula.

Please make this a priority: The Rockaway community will thank you!
