NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) – A Queens community still reeling from superstorm Sandy now has one of its most treasured gathering places back.
“Two foot of water came through, destroyed all the books,” Dan Mundy, president of the Broad Channel Civic Association, told WCBS 880 reporter Alex Silverman of the damage at the Queens Library in Broad Channel.
16,000 books were destroyed.
