This included restricted grants totaling $270,536 for out-of-school literacy and enrichment programs for children; $192,849 for digital literacy and other re-entry programs for formerly incarcerated individuals; $170,000 for job training and entrepreneurship; $113,300 for programs and collections at Flushing Library; $55,000 for hip hop programs; and $40,000 to support co-branded library cards to encourage new card sign ups among school children and adults. The Queens Library Foundation continued to manage multi-year grants secured in previous years which resulted in the clean-up, beautification, furnishing and maintenance of 6 library gardens which are now open to library customers; the installation of extended WiFi in over 50 libraries which has resulted in an almost four-fold increase in WiFi sessions; the launch of new college-readiness programs; digital literacy training for teens and others who borrow hot spot devices and laptops from the library; and enrichment and literacy activities for children and youth.
