City Budget Cuts

The Mayor's Budget proposes cuts to New York City's libraries. The New York Public Library is faced with over $57 million in budget cuts and needs your help.

At risk:

• Six- and seven-day service
• Job search resources
• Thousands of programs for children and much, much more...

While the Andrew Heiskell Library is primarily state funded, as well as receiving funds from other sources and has its talking books and braille collections provided by the federal government, the cuts will affect our services and staffing.

Write now to ensure the future of your library by letting the Mayor and your City Council Member know how important New York's libraries are to you. If you can use an online form, NYPL has made one available for you to email your City Council Member on its Take Action webpage.
