What would you say if your community library had to close its doors? What if you couldn't take out a book over the weekend for your child's school project because not a single library in Queens was open? What if the shelves were bare? What would you say if afterschool programs, computer classes and English lessons at the library were slashed in half or eliminated all together?
The current New York City Financial plan proposes funding levels to public libraries that could result in this actually happening. With a proposed cut of over 31% from current funding levels, this budget proposal could devastate public library service in your community.
Speak up now. Take a moment to sign our petition and send an email to your City Council member and the Mayor. Tell them you support funding for Queens Library. Thank you for speaking up.
