You Did It, NYC! Libraries Saved from $58.3M in City Budget Cuts
City leaders have announced that NYC’s public libraries will have their funding fully restored in the FY25 budget. This is a victory for all New Yorkers, and will allow libraries to continue to provide the vital services, resources, and open hours our communities need. Restoration of funding will allow libraries to resume seven-day service and avert significant reductions to materials, programs, open hours, and maintenance.
Thank You, NYC!
