Tell City Leaders: Invest in NYCâs Public Libraries
https://www.nypl.org/speakout
For years, NYC libraries have been fighting cuts and proposed cuts, even as demand for our essential services continues to grow and costs have increased across the board. While the Mayor's FY27 Executive Budget has restored and baselined last year's one-time funding, these rising costs make it harder to provide the consistent service New Yorkers rely on.
New Yorkâs City Council has long been a staunch supporter of public librariesâand this year, they have an opportunity to truly invest in libraries. Make your voice heard! Sign a letter today and tell the New York City Council to support increased library funding.
