Cant Tell A Store These days, people might pick up something to read while
waiting at the European Beauty Salon at 115-06 Rocka-
way Beach Boulevard. In the 1930s, people would go there
By Its Cover just to read. The building was the home of the Rockaway
Park branch of the Queens Library. The library later moved
to Beach 116th Street and today is located on the corner
of Beach 117th and RBB and is called the Seaside branch.
