New York Public Library Roosevelt Island branch
manager Carlos Chavez shares these photos and reports: 

I’m reaching out to inform you that our outdoor furniture is now installed in
the library plaza.

I spoke with Mr Chavez last week at the new Roosevelt Island Library Plaza about the new outdoor furniture..

According to Mr Chavez:

I’m here today to talk a little bit about the summer outdoor furniture that we
have installed in the Library Plaza right behind me.

We have a total of four umbrella tables and umbrella shades as well as six
folding tables and folding chairs that you’ll see distributed throughout the
the plaza. Our goal is to turn this library plaza into a destination for the
islanders and for people visiting the island.

They’ll have a place where they can sit and read, use their mobile
devices, 

and have their meal. We will also be using the library plaza for programs and
outreach like our summer learning kickoff….

Furniture will be available during the hours of operation that the library is open to the public. By 6 pm we’ll be putting furniture away. On certain days like Monday and Wednesday that we
close at eight we won’t have it out too late, only until six pm every day.

You can pick up the Wi-fi from the library. We will increase our Wi-fi capability in the near future and people will be able to use free Wi-fi here in the Library Plaza.

I look forward to seeing all the Roosevelt Islanders using this space, this furniture. We got this for you and it’s ready to get used.

The Library Plaza is a great new public place and amenity for Roosevelt Islanders to enjoy.

See you there.
