Elected officials and bookworms celebrated the return of Sunday service at seven library branches across the city on July 14, following an agreement between Mayor Eric Adams and the City Council last month to restore $58.3 million in funding to the New York, Brooklyn, and Queens public library systems for fiscal year 2025.
In Brooklyn, Council members Justin Brannan (D-Brooklyn) and Crystal Hudson (D-Brooklyn) joined Linda Johnson, president and CEO of the Brooklyn Public Library, and visitors at Brooklyn’s Central Library branch at Grand Army Plaza to celebrate with a party.
