Leaders of the city’s three public library systems launched a fresh campaign Tuesday to demand that Mayor Eric Adams and the City Council reverse a collective $58.3 million in proposed cuts in the coming Fiscal Year 2025 budget. The cuts will lead to the continued absence of seven day service and delay the reopenings of many closed branches.
Leaders of the city’s three public library systems launched a fresh campaign Tuesday to demand that Mayor Eric Adams and the City Council reverse a collective $58.3 million in proposed cuts in the coming Fiscal Year 2025 budget. Tuesday marks the first time the leaders of the three branches — the New York, Brooklyn and Queens Public Libraries — are citing the sizable $58.3 million cut, which is higher than the $22.1 million trim the mayor enacted in November.
That increase comes from a recurring $20.5 million cut the mayor enacted last year — which he canceled in the Fiscal Year 2024 budget, but not for future years — and the loss of $15.7 million in one-time City Council funding, according to the library systems.The three library executives say the cuts will lead to the continued absence of seven day service — which was reduced following the mayor’s November trims, possibly cutting service at most branches across the city to five days a week and indefinitely delaying the reopenings of many closed branche
