Not just Florida, but New York City, NY has already proposed deep cuts to public library budgets for the coming fiscal year.
Now the Adams administration is proposing another round of cuts to all City agencies, as well as public libraries. This means the painful $36.2 million cut we were looking at is now a staggering $52.7 million, the steepest budget cut we've faced in years. Make your voice heard and stand for public libraries.
As we testified just two weeks ago, the initial cuts proposed in the upcoming budget would harm our hours and ability to provide the vital resources and services we make available to all New Yorkers. Additional cuts make a bad situation worse.
Act now! Instantly tell City leaders how crucial public libraries are to NYC.
New York City's public libraries operate in all of our communities to provide free access to knowledge and opportunity, a critical mission that has grown in urgency at this moment in our city's history. Libraries are for everyone and make New York City stronger. Cutting library funding hurts New Yorkers, particularly those we know who rely on us and have nowhere else to turn to for the free services and programs we provide.
