This stand-alone teen library gives Far Rockaway teens their own after-school hangout with gaming consoles, VR headsets, computers, a podcast/recording studio and a DJ booth. It also runs college-readiness workshops; a library card is needed to get in and activity stations can be reserved in short blocks.
