The Queens Public Library (New York City, NY) changed its name from Queens Library to Queens Public Library to honor the diversity of the library’s customers and communities it serves. In addition to name change it has a new website. It has 62 locations.
QPL’s main color is now purple, a color associated with some of the qualities QPL seeks to cultivate, such as wisdom, creativity, dignity, and ambition, and a secondary palette of colors highlights the vibrancy and diversity of the public the Library serves.
The new tagline is “We speak your language.” It means QPL not only speaks Spanish, Chinese, Bengali, Russian, Greek and many other tongues, but also imagination, tech, history, LGBTQ, HTML, finance, non-fiction, science fiction, story time, chess, teens, opportunity, and many other interests and pursuits
To read more about the changes, including the library’s blog and press releases see: https://www.queenslibrary.org/about-us/news-media
