THANK YOU FOR SPEAKING UP FOR NYC’S LIBRARIES!
Our city’s leaders approved a budget for this fiscal year that resulted in permanent funding for Queens Public Library to maintain the diverse collections and high-quality programs and resources we offer throughout the borough. This includes the continuation of the expanded seven-day service sites we introduced last year, as well as additional one-time funding to help with our rising costs. We are grateful to Mayor Zohran Mamdani, Council Speaker Julie Menin, Deputy Speaker and Libraries Chair Dr. Nantasha Williams, Finance Chair Linda Lee, and the entire City Council for recognizing the vital role public libraries play in the lives of New Yorkers, and we look forward to working with our city leaders to continue supporting and strengthening public libraries.
This outcome could not have happened without the many individuals who took the time to share their love for NYC’s libraries with our elected officials. Thank you for your support.
