The World is Beautiful because of Her

Grace Lin Will Live in Our Memory Forever

Proposal to Create Grace Lin Memorial Fund

Grace Lin, International Languages Librarian at the Central Library, pass away suddenly on May 21st, but her legacy at Queens Library as a dedicated librarian and loving colleague will always be present. Grace began her career at Queens Library in May 1998. After working in several Queens community libraries, she joined the Central Library staff 10 years ago.  Grace was devoted to enhancing the Library’s International Collections, and the Chinese Collection was her special love. Throughout her career, her dedication, knowledge, smile and love touched so many lives, staff and customers alike. It is the wish of her family, friends and colleagues to commemorate her legacy with the creation of a memorial fund at Queens Library Foundation for the acquisition of Chinese books and materials for Central Library.  A commemorative bookplate will be placed in each new book to memorialize Grace, and we expect to raise sufficient funds to inscribe a memorial plaque to honor Grace.  Contributions to the Grace Lin Memorial Fund can be given through a check made payable and sent to: Queens Library Foundation, or online through the Buy-A-Book program at www.queenslibraryfoundation.org, and will be acknowledged, accordingly.  Thank you for your generous support in memory of a good friend and colleague.
