The Middle Village Library will close next week for about three months for interior maintenance work.

The library will close on Friday, Nov. 8 at 6 p.m. so that its HVAC system can be upgraded, according to a spokesperson for Queens Public Library.

The library is expected to reopen in February 2020.

The total cost of the system upgrade is approximately $1 million, with funds secured by the City Council and Mayor Bill de Blasio, the spokesperson said.

While the branch is closed, a mobile library service will be parked in front of the Middle Village Library located at 72-31 Metropolitan Ave. on Fridays from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., starting Nov. 15.

Nearby libraries will also be open to serve Middle Village residents during the work including the North Forest Park Library at 98-27 Metropolitan Ave., the Glendale Library in the Atlas Park Mall at 8000 Cooper Ave. and the Maspeth Library at 69-70 Grand Ave.

Twenty people indicted in Queens-based $4.6M vehicle theft ring after three-year probe: DA

Twenty individuals were indicted and variously charged in a wide-ranging scheme to steal cars in Queens, throughout New York City and its suburbs, following a three-year investigation by the Queens District Attorney’s Office, the NYPD, and the New York State Police dubbed “Operation Hellcat,” into the criminal enterprise based in Queens.

Some of the vehicles were stolen from owners’ driveways, some with the keys or key fobs inside. The stolen vehicles were often sold through advertisements on social media platforms such as Facebook and Instagram. The defendants are charged in nine separate indictments for a total of 373 counts, Queens District Attorney Melinda Katz announced on Thursday.
