About this Event


Make the Road New York in Queens

104-19 Roosevelt Ave, Corona, NY 11368

Saturday, March 21st, 2026 from 1:00pm to 4:30pm (with free lunch provided starting at 12:00pm)

NYC Public Library Action Network (NYC PLAN) is hosting our third people’s assembly! A people’s assembly is a facilitated gathering where community members discuss key issues, collectively problem-solve, and decide how to address them.

Join us on Saturday, March 21st to learn how you can advocate for increased public library funding, hear more about the services that libraries provide, and get involved to have a positive impact on their future.

We will provide free lunch from 12:00pm to 1:00pm.

Spanish interpretation will be provided.

Much of the focus throughout this event will be on the central questions: “How can our libraries best support and protect immigrant communities, and how can we get involved to strengthen their foundation as pillars of community culture where everyone is safe, supported, and welcome?”

Come spend an afternoon in conversation with library users, library workers, and others from across NYC to discuss what increased funding of NYC public libraries could achieve for our communities.

All experience levels are welcome. You don’t need to consider yourself an “expert” to join! If you have used the public library or have interest in it, we want you there.

Our panel will include a library patron, library worker, library union president, and a city council member to help prepare attendees for breakout discussion groups where we hope to hear more from you and inspire each other to action.

Admission is free for all who want it! This event is being organized by volunteers and is community-funded, so we’ve included solidarity tickets for those who would like to contribute to the costs.

Información general

NYC Public Library Action Network (NYC PLAN, Red de Acción de la Biblioteca Pública de Nueva York) los invita a nuestra tercera asamblea popular. La asamblea popular es una reunión con moderadores donde los miembros de la comunidad conversan sobre temas importantes, y juntos deciden cómo abordar y resolver problemas.

Súmese a nosotros el sábado 21 de marzo para averiguar cómo puede promover un aumento de fondos de la biblioteca pública, conocer más sobre los servicios brindados por las bibliotecas, y participar en acciones para un impacto positivo en el futuro de las bibliotecas.

Almuerzo gratuito de 12:00 p.m. a 1:00 p.m.

Habrá servicio de interpretación al español.

Este evento se centrará en estas cuestiones esenciales: “Cómo pueden nuestras bibliotecas apoyar y proteger mejor a las comunidades de inmigrantes, y qué podemos hacer para fortalecer sus cimientos como pilares de la cultura comunitaria donde todos están a salvo, reciben apoyo y son bienvenidos.”

Pase una tarde con usuarios y personal de la biblioteca y otras personas de toda la ciudad de Nueva York conversando acerca del aumento de fondos para las bibliotecas públicas de Nueva York y su impacto sobre nuestras comunidades.

Para todos los niveles de experiencia. No es necesario ser “experto” para sumarse a nosotros. Si ha usado la biblioteca pública o tiene interés en ella, es bienvenido.

En el panel participarán un usuario de la biblioteca, un empleado de la biblioteca, el presidente del sindicato de bibliotecas y un miembro del ayuntamiento; ellos ayudarán a los asistentes a organizarse en grupos de discusión, donde esperamos conocernos e inspirarnos mutuamente para la acción.

¡La entrada es gratuita para todos! Este evento es organizado por voluntarios y está financiado por la comunidad; por ello hay boletos de solidaridad para quienes quieran contribuir a sufragar los costos.
