The New York City Department of Design and Construction (DDC) has filed applications for a new two-story, 31,779-square-foot Queens Library at Far Rockaway. The new building will be built on the site of the existing, single-story library branch, at 16-37 Central Avenue. The facility will feature a circulation and information center, meeting rooms, a business center, and individual children, teen, and adult sections. Snøhetta will be designing the project. The 25,877-square-foot site is located at the corner of Mott Avenue, three blocks from the Far Rockaway-Mott Avenue stop on the A train. Demolition permits have not been filed for the existing library.

Here are the questions to be asked.. What is the size of the existing library.. What is the size of the proposed new library.
Who benefits financially from the demolition and sale of the land of the exisiting library. What electeds have benefitted from donations from the entity and individuals involved with the library demolition/sale.. Is pay to play operating here..
New rooms new two-story, service adding to people seem reasonable for communication.
So,in other words :”What’s The Story With The Library???”
