On Tuesday, June 6, the City Council and Mayor Bill de Blasio approved the City’s budget for Fiscal Year 2018. This budget includes an additional $30 million in capital funding for critical maintenance and repairs for Queens Library, and marks the third consecutive funding increase for the City’s three library systems.

Queens Library also received a total of $10.78 million from individual City Council members who represent Queens, and a $1.4 million baselined annual increase to operate the new Hunters Point Community Library.

When we are able to improve our buildings, more New Yorkers visit, check out materials, attend programs and classes, access opportunity, and strengthen themselves and their communities.

Thank you to Mayor de Blasio, Speaker Melissa Mark-Viverito, Finance Chair Julissa Ferreras-Copeland, Majority Leader Jimmy Van Bramer, Library Sub-Committee Chair Andy King, and the members of the Sincerely, Council for once again investing in our City’s libraries. I’d also like to thank our partners in DC 37 and Local 1321 for their leadership and support through the budget negotiating process.

Dennis M. Walcott Finally, I send my thanks and appreciation to our staff, to the Friends of the President and CEO Library, and to our tireless library advocates, who attended rallies, wrote letters, sent tweets, and posted virtual sticky notes online, all to make one message clear: that an investment in libraries is an investment in all New Yorkers.

3 4 The Tiebrary Means Business On May 17, Queens Library partnered with the Queens Chamber of Commerce to bring the Tiebrary to the 2017 Business Expo at Citi Field. The Tiebrary program, part of the Queens Library Job & Business Academy, was launched last year for job-seeking customers who either didn’t own a tie, or didn’t realize they needed one until the day of the interview.

The library receives ties through donations, and customers can borrow them for up to 21 days-or wear them in the library if they’re participating in a Skype or video interview. The ties are packaged in boxes and accompanied by illustrated instructions for tying a standard half-Windsor knot, as well as a list of interview tips. For the Expo, 45 ties were donated.

“I heard Dennis Walcott speak about this program and immediately thought of our Business Expo as a great opportunity for the Queens business community to get more involved,” said Thomas J. Grech, Executive Director of the Queens Chamber of Commerce. “It’s so important to support each other in an effort to help get people employed.”

“We are grateful to the Chamber for partnering with us to expand one of our most important collections and help our customers succeed in their job searches,” said Queens Library President and CEO Dennis M. Walcott. “Our A tie kit from the Tiebrary. mission is to make it clear to people through programs like the Tiebrary that Queens Library is here for them, no matter their circumstances or background, as they try to improve their lives.”

To give back to the Queens community and donate to the Tiebrary, simply mail your gently used necktie or bowtie to: Monique Hector, Manager, Job & Business Academy, 89-11 Merrick Blvd., Jamaica, NY 11432. ■
