Tell City Hall: No Cuts to Libraries!

Your library and your community need your help. Mid-year City budget cuts in November 2023 forced New York City’s public libraries to reduce the vital services we offer to all New Yorkers, including ending Sunday service at most locations offering it across the city, and reducing collections, programming, and maintenance at our branches.

Sign your name to instantly deliver a message to Mayor Adams and the New York City Council to let them know how vital public libraries are to the communities they serve.

From books and e-books to job-search help and ESOL classes to safe spaces for kids and teens to learn and grow, our libraries provide all New Yorkers with the support and resources they need to succeed.
