The Queens County Library offers a plastic bag to each patron checking out a book, DVD or CD. They had a circulation of 23 million in 2009. Even if only 5% of the patrons accept a bag, the 62 branches of the Library have given away millions of taxpayer-funded plastic bags since the practice started.
Please send a message to the Queens Library, City Council Speaker Christine Quinn and Mayor Michael Bloomberg asking them to stop this practice and in support of banning all single-use checkout plastics bags in New York City.
