Queens Library
It is very important that your child continues to read over the summer in order to stay on the reading level they left Kindergarten, or even improve! The library is a great place for your child to visit so getting a library card would be beneficial to your child's learning.
If your child does not have a library card, please stop by the library and apply for one.
