Honoring the Langston Hughes Community Library and Cultural Center for its enduring legacy of education, empowerment, and cultural preservation in Corona, Queens, New York

This resolution (Assembly Resolution 814) formally honors the Langston Hughes Community Library and Cultural Center in Corona, Queens, for its 55+ years of service. It recognizes the library’s role as the first public library in the U.S. named after an African American literary figure, its Black Heritage Reference Center, and its function as a community hub offering education, cultural programs, and civic engagement. The resolution does not create new laws or funding; it is purely ceremonial, expressing legislative appreciation and sending a copy to the library staff. It directly affects the library’s community recognition but has no binding policy impact.
