The council member asks about potentially expediting the opening of the new Far Rockaway library branch to early July. The Queens Public Library president responds that he cannot commit to an early July opening date.
- The opening timing depends on the hard work and progress made by library staff in tasks like stacking books.
- The backyard area of the new branch has been prepared and signage indicates it will be open to the public.

Is there any way we could speed up the opening to, like, early July?
1:23:34
I mean, June is here now.
1:23:36
But

1:23:36
Yeah.
1:23:37
I would not make a commitment to that.
1:23:39
I mean, if it happens as a result of the hard work and the great work of the staff and the staffing.
1:23:45
The stacking of the books.
1:23:46
And then the other thing that I think you've been involved in a discussion as well, that backyard area will be open to the public.
1:23:55
So we've already set that up and the signage has been reflecting that'll be open to the public as well.
