Tell City Leaders: Invest in NYC’s 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 York’s City Council has long been a staunch supporter of public libraries—and 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.

Please note we will be closed on Friday, June 19, in observance of Juneteenth. We will reopen Saturday, June 20. Apologi...
