NYC Council Speaker Envisions Expanding Childcare And Library Services
Briefly

In her 2025 State of the City address, City Council Speaker Adrienne Adams outlined several key policy priorities aimed at enhancing services for New Yorkers. These initiatives include a $2 million plan to expand seven-day library service to ten additional branches, implementing a childcare voucher system that covers half of childcare costs for families earning up to $128,000, and boosting support for adult learners at CUNY. Additionally, Adams proposes establishing new community health centers, reducing bureaucratic barriers for rental assistance, and creating a Minority-Owned Business Accelerator.
"We are committed to expanding library services, increasing childcare support, and creating avenues for minority-owned businesses to thrive in New York City."
"Providing a voucher for childcare that covers half of the cost will lighten the financial burden for families, making it easier for them to thrive economically."
