Public library leaders demand Mayor Adams, City Council restore millions in budget cuts

By Ethan Stark-Miller Posted on March 12, 2024

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.
