Queens Public Libraries

Nineteen volunteer trustees, serving five-year terms each, govern the Queens Borough Public Library along with individuals appointed by the mayor and the borough president. Trustees are chosen from the business and residential communities, and many of them are community activists in their own neighborhoods.

The following is a listing of the 63 locations and six Adult Learning Centers of the library in Queens. Many of the branches feature free concerts, events, summer children’s programs, readings and workshops for the community.
