Closing Bell: Petition Asks for Mobile Library Service in Hunters Point

Hunters Point Library — rendered above — isn’t being built anytime soon. And when it’s finally built, it won’t look much like the rendering, either. In response to the library’s delayed construction time, residents started a petition for mobile library services around Hunters Point. Here’s what they have asked for: “In lieu of a brick and mortar library, we request long-term book mobile service until the library is fully constructed, staffed, and operational. Hunters Point has been without taxpayer-subsidized public library service for far too long. While a stop-gap measure, book mobile service will provide the Hunters Point neighborhood with limited access to books, DVDs, and other library materials, as well as the chance to make use of the expertise of librarians and library staff.”

There are already more than 100 signatures in support, and the goal is to reach 200. If you are interested in signing the petition, just go here.
