Libraries Make NYC Stronger

THANK YOU, NEW YORK CITY – YOUR VOICE WAS HEARD!

New York City has a new city budget, and Queens Public Library received increased funding to ensure we are able to continue providing diverse collections, high-quality programs and services, and safe and welcoming spaces for all. The budget also includes funding to offer expanded Sunday service, meaning we can be there for more New Yorkers seven days a week. We are grateful to Mayor Eric Adams, Speaker Adrienne Adams, and the entire City Council for prioritizing public libraries in the adopted budget.

Dear Mayor Eric Adams, City Council Speaker Adrienne Adams, Council Majority Leader Amanda Farías, City Council Finance Chair Justin Brannan, Committee on Libraries Chair Carlina Rivera, and Council Member,

Thank you for your investment in Queens Public Library in the Fiscal Year 2026 New York City budget! The increased funding ensures that my neighbors and I can continue to count on our local branch for books, storytimes, technology classes, job search assistance, a welcoming space, and more. I look forward to being able to visit even more libraries on Sundays and enjoying more programs and services offered by the Library.

It is clear that you understand the role public libraries play in our communities and our lives. Please accept my sincerest thanks for prioritizing Queens Public Library in the budget.

Thank you!
