Hunters Point Community Library, Public library in Long Island City, United States.
Hunters Point Community Library is a modern waterfront public library in Long Island City with floor-to-ceiling windows that frame views of Manhattan. The building emphasizes natural light and open design, creating bright and welcoming interior spaces.
Designed by Steven Holl Architects, the library opened in September 2019 as one of the newest additions to the Queens Public Library system. This opening marked a recent expansion of public library services in the waterfront area.
Die Bibliothek ist Treffpunkt für Anwohner aus der Nachbarschaft und bietet regelmäßig Veranstaltungen wie Lesestunden für Kleinkinder und Buchklubs an. Menschen nutzen den Ort zum Lernen, zum Austausch und um Teil einer lebendig gestalteten Gemeinschaft zu sein.
The facility is easily accessible with abundant natural light and comfortable reading spaces that encourage longer visits. Plan your visit outside peak hours to enjoy the open layout and peaceful study environment most fully.
The building functions as an environmental education center focused on the ecological challenges of nearby Newtown Creek. This special role is supported through dedicated funding from the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation.
