BACKGROUND

In 1986, the New York City Planning Commission voted to approve Citibank’s application for a special permit to build the 42-story office tower and five-story annex building currently at 1 Court Square. As part of its application, Citibank agreed to, among other things, develop 16,000 square foot of landscaped outdoor public space and build a public library and provide it rent free to the Queens Public Library for 20 years.

Since the Court Square branch of the Queens Public Library was built in 1989, the small but robust Court Square Library has served as a lifeline for many childcare providers, students, and adults needing public services in Western Queens. As our neighborhood continues to grow, the Court Square Library remains more vital to our community than ever.
