Flushing, known as "New York's Second Chinatown", has a large number of Chinese residents, full of shops that cater to Chinese life and eating habits, and even well-known American chain brands will install Chinese signboards, and Chinese who come here for the first time will sigh "like returning home"
The highly trafficked Flushing Main Street area, which is also near a public activity center for the Chinese community, was once the preferred venue for Chinese large and small events, but it was closed for two years because of the epidemic, and finally reopened today
It is the Flushing Library
At the start of the outbreak in March 2020, flushing Library was closed at the same time as other libraries in Queens, to provide To Go Service in November 2020, and to become a vaccination point for the municipality in March 2021, but by the end of May, it needed to be shut down due to a failure of the air conditioning system. At present, a temporary air conditioning system has been installed in place, and the library is still undergoing renovation of the old elevator and the addition of new elevators, but it is scheduled to be carried out at night and will not affect the service during the day.
At this point, the Flushing Library has finally announced that it has reopened!
The library is open Monday to Thursday from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., Friday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Closed on Sundays. Flushing Library is not only the largest community library in New York, but also one of the busiest in the United States. Located on 41-17 Main Street, the library averages 6,000 readers a day, and New Yorkers have free access to more than 5 million books and materials through this library system, covering multiple languages and categories, as well as a variety of educational, cultural, and civic programs throughout the year.
