ASTORIA LIBRARY TO TEMPORARILY CLOSE FOR SELF-SERVICE BOOK RETURN INSTALLMENT BY ANGY ALTAMIRANO is slipped through the slot, the same technology [email protected] @aaltamirano28 The Queens Library at Steinway will temporarily close starting April 2 to install a new service that will make returning books easier. From April 2 through April 7, the library located at 21-45 31st St. in Astoria will be closed temporarily as self-service book returns are installed inside the library. Already located in most Queens libraries, this self-service option allows book returns to be processed even when the library is closed. Once a book used for E-ZPass scans the chips located inside the library materials and automatically returns the book, printing a receipt of return for the customer. This service is important to the customers because it allows the returned books to appear automatically on the customer’s account and also gets materials back on the shelves more quickly. While the Queens Library at Steinway is closed for the six days, customers can visit nearby libraries at 14-01 Astoria Blvd. or 40-20 Broadway. They can also renew material on the library’s website, www.queenslibrary.org/myaccount or by phone at 718-990-8508.
