Mission Statement

The Library Action Committee of Corona-East Elmhurst, Inc. (LAC) is the founding body of the Langston Hughes Community Library and Cultural Center, a branch of the Queens Public Library. Conceived by Corona-East Elmhurst residents, LAC is a 501c3, not-for-profit community-based organization established in 1969. From April 1969 to October 1987, the LAC Board of Directors operated and staffed the Library as a “federally funded special project” until it gained full status within the Queens Public Library system. LAC now acts as an advisory board to the Langston Hughes Community Library & Cultural Center. This critical relationship creates a targeted and trusted partnership between the Corona-East Elmhurst community and the Queens Public Library. 


 The Library Action Committee:

  • functions as an advisory to the Queens Public Library on programs and services at Langston Hughes Community Library and Cultural Center
  • sponsors ongoing activities annually
  • coordinates cultural arts programs, artist exhibitions, independent film festivals, music concerts, creative writing workshops, literature, poetry reading, etc.
  • champions the Homework Assistance Program
  • collaborates with Library staff to ensure that the Library’s collection, programs, and services reflect the needs and wishes of the community it serves.


Current Members: Aretha Wareham (Chairperson)| Marjorie Clarke (Interim Vice-Chairperson)| Yasmeen Majid (Treasurer) | Patricia Ramos (Secretary)|Beryl Major| C. Atterbury

"As the Chair of the Library Action Committee of the Langston Hughes Community Library and Cultural Center, I am proud and honored to be a part of this prestigious and historic Library.  I am a resident of Corona-East Elmhurst for over 40 years and I have watched the diversity of the community grow to a multicultural society.  Langston Hughes has embraced this development and stands as a beacon in the past, the present and the future.  Let the Dream continue for the next 50 years." 


Aretha Wareham, Chair
