Today, DDC Commissioner Foley joined Queens Public Library President and CEO Dennis M. Walcott, NYC Department of Cultural Affairs, New York City Economic Development Corporation, elected officials, and the community to celebrate the opening of the brand new, state-of-the-art Far Rockaway Library! 🎉 Located at the busy intersection of Central and Mott Avenues, the library is as much the centerpiece of the revitalization of Downtown Far Rockaway as it is an inspiring space for learning, discovery, growth, and community connection. The new library offers 32 public computers, 32 public laptops, and a collection of nearly 30,000 books, periodicals and other materials in several languages. The 18,000-square-foot building meets LEED Gold standards for environmental efficiency. The glass façade’s glazing reduces heat generated by the sun and lets in ample natural light, reducing the need for artificial lighting. Snøhetta’s design of the new Far Rockaway Library received an Excellence in Design Award from the Public Design Commission under DDC’s Design and Construction Excellence 2.0 program, which pre-selects and pre-qualifies design firms that DDC works with on projects with construction budgets of up to $50 million. We thank all our partners, the project team, Snøhetta, EW Howell Construction Group, the community, local leaders, and many more. Check out the celebrations and a look inside the library in the video below.

A incredible moment of joy for Cure resident company Wandercraft on this momentous day where Kevin walked in his exoskeleton carrying the Olympic torch.
It's been 13 years that I started thinking about developping an exoskeleton to allow people to walk again in the street. I founded Wandercraft with my friends and embarked on this long journey full of difficult moments and also moments of incredible joy. Seeing the smile of Kevin carrying the Olympic Flame, it was definitely worth the effort :-)
