CORONA — Queens Library is for everyone — and they’re going to pull an all-nighter to prove it.
The borough’s library system, one of the busiest in the country, will host 31 straight hours of events and programming at the Corona Library starting Friday morning.
The goal is part of their “Queens Library is for Everyone” campaign, which is meant to foster unity for all of the diverse residents throughout the borough regardless of background, identity, or circumstances, officials said.
CEO Dennis Walcott will officially kick off the event Friday at 10 a.m. with a toddler story time.
Over the next 31 hours, the library — which serves more than 20,000 people a month — will host “know your rights” workshops, a resource fair with local organizations, free legal assistance focusing on immigration and housing issues and more.
