New Business
Jerry Iannece, the Chair of Community Board 11, spoke:
Although the Little Neck Branch of the Queens Library is one of the most
heavily used, there is still no funding in the City budget to pay for a
much-needed expansion
but he is working on securing funding. He is also
currently working on a deal with the neighboring church to use its parking lot
as the location to build the new library annex. The church would be able to
share the use of the building for its activities.
