Queens West Library Update

The Friends of Gantry Neighborhood Parks (FOGNP) provided some new information on the proposed Parcel 8 library in their February 2006 Newsletter.

"Councilman Gioia's office has provided us with the following details about the new branch: It will be 21,000 square feet, and is slated to include a conference center, learning center, auditorium and self-check-out of materials. Excitingly, the building has been designed to be green; the key component of which is a planted roof that can collect rain runoff and will minimize reflected heat. Below are two photos of the architect's model."
