25 years ago today, LPC designated the Poppenhusen Branch of @QPLNYC a landmark. Built in 1904 in Classical Revival style on land donated by College Point, it’s one of 67 libraries built citywide in the early 20th century funded by a grant from steel magnate Andrew Carnegie.🧵1/2

Love is in the archives! In the 1940s a @qplnyc librarian assembled these romantic cards from the 1880s into a collection in the #QPLarchives. Many of them include poems too! Sharing a few here💘 #ArchivesValentine Post Nande Walters, Citi + QPL Fellow, Fall 2024
