Libraries play a crucial role in every neighborhood and with the City’s help extended offerings to meet the community’s growing needs. Today, we are especially grateful to Mayor de Blasio, and Speaker Corey Johnson, Finance Chair Dromm and Library Chair Van Bramer, to the Brooklyn delegation and to the entire City Council for their continuing support. Together, New York City’s elected leaders are ensuring that when New Yorkers visit their libraries, they will continue to find a home for self-improvement, an engine for civic engagement, and a pillar of inclusion for all.
