Mayor Eric Adams will spare the city’s three public library systems from another round of broad budget cuts across city agencies that he is set to announce Tuesday, Hizzoner revealed on Jan. 14.
The mayor, in a video posted on social media Sunday evening, said the New York, Brooklyn and Queens Public Libraries would not suffer another round of 5% trims in his Fiscal Year 2025 preliminary budget rollout on Jan. 16. He said the proposal from the library systems to find the necessary savings would have resulted in cutting Saturday service and some weekday hours.
