Mayor Eric Adams Spares NYC Library Hours in Latest Budget Proposal
TL;DR Summary
New York City Mayor Eric Adams has cancelled the proposed 4% budget cuts to the city's public libraries, which would have forced many branches to close on weekends. However, library officials are still concerned about the impact of previously announced budget cuts of $36 million. The public library system is a vital community resource, with over 200 locations across the city, and is a foundation of critical priorities like childhood reading and providing access to the internet. The back-and-forth between the mayor and City Council leaders over budget cuts is a governmental rite of spring in New York, with negotiations expected to continue.
