    Most libraries in the Queens Public Library system are smaller neighborhood facilities to serve the…read morelocal community like this Fresh Meadows branch. They have their collections of books, magazines, DVDs, CDs and other media available for perusal and loan. There is even a large children's section that I used to bring my son to when he was younger, with lots of tables for reading and homework. The current pandemic lockdown has changed all that and all public spaces have had to adjust their practices accordingly. I am glad that Queens Library has made their collections available again via their website. You can search their vast catalog for any of their materials from any branch, put in a request and it will be delivered to your local branch for pick-up. When you arrive, make sure you're wearing your mask, check in with the security guard and you can then go to your designated cart to find your marked books or media. Checkout is a snap at the self-service desk by placing your library card on the scanner pad and then your materials. I really like the convenience of designated library parking spots out front. And when you are finished with your borrowed materials, the walk-up self-service automated return kiosk makes it even easier than picking them up. But if you really want to avoid human contact and stay buttoned up in your house, ebooks are also available through their website.

    Love coming to this library as the staff are always super helpful especially in the kids section.read more

    If you're Korean, this library has the most number of Korean books out of all libraries in Queens,…read moreso you should check this library out as buying a Korean book in NYC is expensive. The Children's Area is also nice compared to most libraries in Queens as it has a carpet floor and lots of toys for the children to play with. Unfortunately the street parking is extremely difficult and I had to park in CVS Pharmacy parking lot which is a block away. Their Baby & Me Program was mediocre (or maybe I've been spoiled by the programs in Glen Oaks Library) as the play mat wasn't big enough for all babies and toddlers to move around on and most toys were out of batteries that the light/sound didn't turn on. The person who led Baby & Me Program also didn't let parents take a photo of of their children, stating that she doesn't know what kind of situation the children are in and therefore the libraries don't allow people to take photos of the children. Hm, I took numerous photos at other libraries and I was never stopped. While the librarian in the Children's Area was super helpful, I'm not sure if it worth a struggle to come back to this library again.

Typically there…read moreisn't too many patrons inside, most people seem to come here to read the newspaper or magazines. Kids come after school, there's a good space for teens and priority seats for those that are grade 6-12 by the windows looking out onto Union St. The librarians are nice and helpful. There's surprisingly a good selection of fiction, some that are often out in other branches. Some shelves have Chinese and Korean books, as well as DVDs for movies and TV shows. I love coming here from time to time, nice place to just sit and relax with a good read sometimes.

    I've been attending this library since 2011 and for the most part it was non eventful but a week…read moreago, an incident happened with two staff members that I didn't appreciate. I was looking over the books displayed by the counter when the older gentleman that works there abruptly stood up, slammed his umbrella on the counter and exclaimed without looking at me but intended for me, "May I help you!" to the gales of LOUD laughter from an older female staff member. This went on for 15 minutes with him saying, "I understand if you're a teenager but you are older than me and I should be learning wisdom from you" with roars of endless LOUD hysterical, guffawing from the female. How ironic since you don't see how YOUR behavior and that of your colleague mirrors rude teenagers. A characteristic you think you see in others but not YOURSELF. Oh, the irony. If you have a problem with me discuss it with me politely instead of throwing passive aggressive insulting comments and laughing about it. You also blamed me for "causing you to have dark thoughts" (your words). Oh, no. YOU are causing YOURSELF to have dark thoughts. Don't blame that on me. Grow up.

    I love the Queens Historical Society and the Kingsland Homestead for various reasons. First of all,…read morethey preserve and celebrate the borough's history and heritage in fascinating, entertaining and enriching ways. For those who don't know, Kingsland Homestead is a preserved colonial farmhouse and the second oldest house in Queens. It is also headquarters for the Queens Historical Society, which maintains the world's only museum of Queens history and a wide-ranging library and archives, including online teaching aids on slavery and the Underground Railroad in New York City. These two entities stimulate my love of history, architecture and antiques because they spearhead educational programs, curate exhibitions, publish a quarterly newsletter, and offer lectures, programs and slide presentations on subjects relating more than 300 years of history. Finally, the grounds are beautiful and located in a neighborhood called "Flushing," which has more Asian restaurants that Manhattan's Chinatown. So I can always head to a great, cheap, authentic restaurant after visiting. Here's the back story. The Kingsland Homestead was built in 1785 by original resident Charles Doughty, the son of a wealthy Quaker. The two-story estate became "Kingsland" after Doughty's son-in-law, Joseph King, a British sea captain, bought the property in 1801. Kingsland's first floor includes a 1,350-square-foot space where the society organizes exhibitions and lectures. The second-floor parlor is designed in a Victorian style with lacework and a plethora of items (i.e. notebooks, eyeglasses) that former inhabitants used. The house has a gambrel roof, a crescent-shaped window in a side gable, a Federal-period chimney piece with an iron Franklin stove, and a Dutch-style front door. Shingles fill the exterior, except on the west side, which features flush boarding and clapboards. The Queens Historical Society is based in the homestead. The society spearheads educational programs, exhibitions, and a research center. It publishes a quarterly newsletter and offers lectures, programs, and slide presentations on subjects relating more than 300 years of history. The house is in Weeping Beech Park. About two acres in size, the park had a 60-foot-high weeping beech from 1847 until 1998. For a long time, the tree had city landmark status and it is believed to be the original source for all weeping beeches in the United States.

    This wonderful treasure of a house from 1774 currently has a charming exhibit on toys, a period…read moreVictorian room upstairs and a terrific gift shop with interesting and inexpensive items plus great selection of books dedicated to many neighborhoods of Queens. Be sure to check out the cool weeping beech tree behind the house.
