NYS Senator Joseph P. Addabbo, Jr., will hold mobile office hours on Thursday, July 11, Queens Library at Broad Channel

For Immediate Release: June 25, 2013

(Queens, NY) To meet more of his constituents without scheduled appointments and to hear about the issues that concern them, NYS Senator Joseph P. Addabbo, Jr., will hold mobile office hours on  Thursday, July 11, Queens Library at Broad Channel, 16-26 Cross Bay Blvd.; 718-318-4943; Carol Scheper, Community Library Manager.  

Come in to talk to Senator Addabbo between 5:30 PM – 7 PM.  He serves on the NYS Senate Select Committee on Libraries.

Addabbo notes, “Many of my constituents might be unable to visit my district offices during the day Monday through Friday. The time I am spending at mobile office hours in the evening around the district gives them an opportunity to see me in their own neighborhoods without making an appointment, so I may personally address their concerns. 

I will also be speaking about how important library funding is from the city and the state in restoring programs and services to local libraries, like the recently passed NYC Budget that will keep local libraries open at least five days a week. And, I’ve worked with my colleagues to restore NYS capital funding for vital building projects like Woodhaven Library’s interior renovations to its Carnegie building (Phase 1) that began in March; Richmond Hill Library’s renovation set for later this year; the Sandy-devastated Rockaway libraries now under reconstruction and offering temporary libraries at Arverne, Peninsula in Rockaway Beach, and Seaside in Rockaway Park" (set to reopen this summer).

For more details, call Addabbo’s district offices in Howard Beach at 718-738-1111; in Middle Village at 718-497-1630; or in Rockaway at 718-318-0702.
