Are the Queens public libraries part of the NYPL system?

* privileges*
I recently moved to Queens. I had a NYPL library card when I lived in a different borough. However, I ruined my privleges and I have about $50 worth of fines on that card. I do plan to repay it.

However, in the meantime, can I get a library card for the Queens library system? Will they know that I have fines when I go to apply? Are all of their computers connected? Thanks.

No, Queens Public Library is not part of New York Public library.
New York public libraries are located in the Bronx, Manhattan and Staten Island.
Queens Public Library owns libraries in Queens.
Brooklyn Public Library owns libraries in Brooklyn.

If you live in city, you can get library card for free.

    They are two separate systems. I would call Queens library and ask them your question. . They won’t know who you are.

    Please take care of your fines BEFORE it reaches collections as borrowers with fines or fees of $50 or more are subject to contact from a collection agency.

    No, there not. Both the NYPL and the Queens Public Labraries are two separate systems.

    I hope this information is very helpful.

    Good luck
