Hunter's point library is a new library that opened in Queen New York.It recently opened on September 24, 2019. It has a big window where u can see the beautiful waterfront view. Council member Jimmy Van Bramer, who is currently a library official, helped this project become what is it. An obstacle that was faced was the Queen's library president resigned. Another problem that was occurring was budget cuts by President Trump to no longer have which is the Institute of Museum and Library Services to continue. Van Bramer stated that "Obviously libraries are more important than ever under Donald Trump, who is assaulting our sense of decency and who has sought to dismantle the civic space and stability as we knew it,". He feels that people should come together and utilize the space that has been provided to us despite the conflicts with others. They also had problems with finding contractors to build.

The library not only has the resources needed but also features quiet rooms, cyber centers, and art installation.

The structure of the library is what makes it stand out. It is 109 feet high and runs until the long Island City waterfront for 168 feet long with oversized windows. It also ADA accessible for people in wheelchairs. The elevator is ADA accessible because it has ramps for its five levels of floors. You can see the Copper Buildings and the East River ferry terminal. The M train, 7 train is by the library. The fourth floor where the cyber center is has a curved wooden element in the design of the interior atrium.
