New York City libraries are confronting a significant budget cut of $58.3 million, which threatens to reduce service at most branches to just five days a week. This development has sparked a Day of Action for Libraries, urging citizens to petition Mayor Eric Adams and the New York City Council to prevent the cuts. Libraries in the city offer critical services, including adult education classes, toddler storytime, reading programs, and workforce development. The New York City Council has pledged to fight for the restoration and baseline funding to protect these essential community hubs. Advocates emphasize the importance of universal access, library workers, and maintaining seven-day service.

I am committed to @NYCCouncil’s demand for the restoration of $58.3M cuts to NYC libraries! Cuts threaten vital services, library workers, and our communities. We must prioritize universal access and 7-day service. #NoCutsToLibraries https://t.co/LVyDIS05cd
New Yorkers rely on our libraries for so many critical services, but these institutions are suffering from the mayor's budget cuts. The Council will continue to fight alongside New Yorkers to restore and baseline funding to protect these community hubs. #NoCutstoLibraries https://t.co/bL8eKB5ANl

The doors of the library are open to everyone, but with further cuts being proposed by the admin, those doors could be open only 5 days a week. Join the Day of Action for Libraries and send a clear message: #NoCutsToLibraries! @nypl @BKLYNlibrary @QPLNYC https://t.co/jnP4e6wQsG https://t.co/6mv4e3OPgS

Repost to tell @nycmayor & @nyccouncil to end the cycle of library budget cuts once and for all! We’ve already lost seven-day service city-wide. If these latest cuts go through, most branches will be open for just five days a week. #NoCutsToLibraries https://t.co/YSRVg62msa https://t.co/QYvXyVt1SA
