☆ Visit the Library From the Comfort of Your Own Phone
  + stars: | 2023-10-25 | by ( J. D. Biersdorfer | More About J. D. Biersdorfer | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
The Brooklyn Public Library, the New York Public Library and the Queens Public Library systems allow people who live, work, pay property taxes or attend school in the state of New York to get a card. Statewide libraries exist beyond New York, like the Free Library of Philadelphia, which is open to Pennsylvania residents, and the Houston Public Library, which serves most Texans. Image In some cases, once you find the information on your library’s website, you can sign up for a library card right on your phone. Once you have the app installed, log in your library user name and password and start browsing for things to borrow. If you already have a library card, use your card number to sign into the app.

☆ Hidden in a Mini-Mall in Flushing, a Home for Art

The flier announcing a new exhibition in Queens, “Home-O-Stasis,” doesn’t give an address. Instead, it has instructions: When you reach the Queens Public Library in Flushing, “go up to Kissena Boulevard till you see the Q17/Q27 stop. Go past the garage gate, enter the mini-mall on the right where scooters and bikes are parked outside.” (How you get to the library is up to you and Google maps.) “Even though I grew up in Flushing my grasp of the language is not whole,” said the sculptor Anne Wu, whose work is on view. “I may not know what a place is called but I can tell you how you get there.”

☆ New York City Sues Queens Library Architects Over Lack of Accessibility
  + stars: | 2023-06-07 | by ( Lola Fadulu | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
A few years back, architects designed a public library in Queens that has been lauded as one of the most stunning public buildings produced in New York in a century. But it is also rife with obstacles for people with disabilities, according to city officials who are now suing the designers for the $10 million they say it will cost to fix. At the Queens Public Library at Hunters Point, a staircase that runs from the lobby to the second floor is the only way to access three areas that have built-in desks with charging stations. A ramp that leads to the rooftop terrace, which has sweeping views of Manhattan, has a slope that is unlawful, the city argues. City officials have accused the architects of a “breach of contract and professional malpractice.” The city’s law department declined to comment beyond what’s in the lawsuit.

Peru"Peruvians are welcoming travelers back with open arms," says travel one travel expert. And perhaps most importantly, the city offers excellent value, in part because it will be the winter/low season there during the Northern Hemisphere’s summer. It’s home to three UNESCO World Heritage Sites, including megalithic temples that date to the 4th millennium BC. Although summer is the rainy season, Gellis says showers are often brief and intermittent. AlbaniaAlbania is a Mediterranean gem that’s likely to be less crowded this summer than Greece and Croatia, says Joao Donadel, another EMBARK Beyond travel advisor.
