\"RosenthalQueens College Library (QCL) had its first dedicated home when Klapper Library (now Klapper Hall) opened in 1955. The Library moved in 1988 to the newly constructed Benjamin S. Rosenthal Library building, named for the New York Congressman and consumer advocate who died in 1983. The library, a hub of student and faculty research, contains over 840,000 volumes, one million plus ebooks, over 59,000 ejournals, and more than 86,000 streaming videos. The Music Library<\/a>, the largest music collection in the CUNY system, is located on two levels in the Music building.<\/p>\n
