One of our favorite resources is @QueensMemory's Queens Name Explorer, an interactive digital map of people whose names grace public spaces in Queens.
Visit their special #QPL130 collection, "Celebrating the Supporters of Queens Public Library!"

ALT The QPL 130 logo (the QPL logo and the words "130 Years," with a topographic map of the borough of Queens inside the zero) and pictures of Carter G. Woodson, Cynthia Jenkins, Paul A. Vallone, Andrew Carnegie, Jeanne and Thomas Elmezzi, Langston Hughes, and Helen Marshall, all on a turquoise background.

25 years ago today, LPC designated the Poppenhusen Branch of @QPLNYC a landmark. Built in 1904 in Classical Revival style on land donated by College Point, it’s one of 67 libraries built citywide in the early 20th century funded by a grant from steel magnate Andrew Carnegie.🧵1/2
