"I hope so many people turn out there that it makes a difference and one day the New York Public Library is open on Sunday again," she said. The program is a direct response to what is happening - or not happening - at libraries across the city. The libraries are closed on Sundays due to budget cuts. Last year, Mayor Eric Adams said the changes were necessary due to dwindling federal aid for COVID relief and the large amount of money being set aside for the asylum seeker crisis."The New York Public Library is one of the most loved organizations in New York, and we really wanted to help out.
In January, the mayor indicated there would be no further cuts to libraries, but funding taken away last year was not restored."I think they are incredibly important for our youth to have a place to go and learn and study," said parent Robert Bennett.Have a breaking news tip or an idea for a story we should cover?
