Officials and local residents gathered outside the new Ravenswood Community Learning Center on Tuesday morning to unveil the revamped space in Long Island City to the public.
Over the past few years, the Queens Public Library (QPL), in partnership with NYC Housing Authority (NYCHA), has been working to transform the outdated space on 21st Street into a resource-rich learning center for local Ravenswood residents.
While the new space is not equipped with an array of books, it boasts a computer lab, two classrooms and a multipurpose lounge area. During the open house, the staff ushered visitors through the center and discussed the various resources it will offer – case management, workforce development and digital literacy workshops. Books borrowed from other QPL locations can also be returned at the site.
