One of our Library Lovers Month 2026 Sweepstakes entries, with a picture of a man standing in front of the 2019-2020 "A Cypher in Queens" sculpture exhibit at Central Library. Jean-Elie L. writes, "On February 29, 2020, my brother I visited the Central Library in Jamaica, Queens to see Sherwin Banfield‘s three sculptures known as “A Cypher in Queens,” which portrays Run DMC’s Jam Master Jay, A Tribe Called Quest’s Malik “Phife Dawg” Taylor, and Mobb Deep’s Albert “Prodigy” Johnson, all of whom are Hip Hop artists from Queens that passed away. I have many fond memories of Queens Library, but this particular memory stands out as possibly my favorite."
One of our Library Lovers Month 2026 Sweepstakes entries, with our Library Lovers Month logo (a heart made of photos of our customers having a great time at the Library). Maria S. writes, "I got my electronic QPL card several years ago, when I moved to a relatively small town in southern California that didn't have a great library system. Since then I keep my QPL card maxed out, with a to-be-read list that's 790 strong and growing every day, thanks to recommendations I find on Libby from QPL. I'm a huge library fan and so appreciative that QPL understands that the library community isn't just the people who live near an outstanding library. Thanks for all the care you provide to readers no matter their interests or their proximity. Libraries are the front line of democracy, literacy, freedom of speech and thought, and history...and those things have never mattered more."
One of our Library Lovers Month 2026 Sweepstakes entries, with a picture of a man, a woman, and their child. The child is holding a book about galaxies, and the man is holding up one of the child's drawings. Tzupei L. writes, "We had a wonderful experience attending a reading and painting event about space and galaxies at the Richmond Hill Library. The library plays an important role in bringing families together and promoting children’s learning in a fun and engaging way. My daughter’s name is Galaxy, a name her dad chose with the hope that she would grow up humble and limitless, just like the galaxy itself. During the program, she listened to a story about space and created artwork showing three different types of galaxies. It was a joyful and meaningful experience that connected our family through learning and creativity."
A heart made of photos of our customers having a great time at the Library, and the words "Queens Public Library Celebrates National Library Lovers' Month Through February 28."
The Library isn’t just a building — it’s where stories begin.

One of our Library Lovers Month 2026 Sweepstakes entries, with a picture of a woman with her chin in her hand and a stack of library books in front of her. Eve C. writes, "The Queens Public Library is where I do all my research for my historical fiction novels. I have borrowed hundreds of books, and without this library and the fantastic librarians who work there, I would not have been able to write the stories that I have—I included the Queens Library in the acknowledgments of my most recent book. A highlight for me was when I published my debut novel, and then found it in my local branch!"
One of our Library Lovers Month 2026 Sweepstakes entries, with our Library Lovers Month logo (a heart made of photos of our customers having a great time at the Library). Yosette J. writes, "Several years ago we had a couple visit us from Philadelphia. Desperate to find something to do, we went on the Queens Library web site and luckily found a wonderful Jazz concert in the afternoon at the Langston Hughes Branch. The music was outstanding and the musicians were very engaged with the audience. Plus, the books that were on sale appealed to us and we made some great finds!!!"
One of our Library Lovers Month 2026 Sweepstakes entries, with a picture of a child hiding behind shelves of library books (but you can see their eyes). T K. writes, "We live close to the library. Visiting the library after coming back from school is a favorite thing to do for my children (5 and 12 year old). When my son was 3 and half -he was still not speaking a word... but making sounds. The librarians said we knew your son was coming into the childrens' section just from the happy sounds he was making on the way!! That is one of my favorite memories!!"
