Queens Public Library at North Forest Park — Attraction in New York

One of the library clerks and a patron with a thick foreign accent were chatting too loud about their personal stuff for like forever.

There is a McDonald's right next to the library, which is convenient when...

A medium-sized branch library that is a little rundown. There's a small reading area, a few computer terminals and a some outlets to charge your devices. The staff seemed friendly and helpful. I don't like how the Queens Library has become overtly political. The social justice signage is a bit much--"everyone is welcome here," LGBTQ welcome signs, immigration legal assistance, "all gender" bathroom signs, etc. Just serve the information needs of your patrons and leave social...
