Ten public library branches across New York City will now offer Sunday hours as part of a new $115.9 billion budget. This budget includes a $32.7 million funding boost for the city's three public library systems, facilitating increased seven-day service. Only 21 of the over 200 libraries previously offered Sunday access. This expansion aims to enhance literacy and access throughout the city, reversing cuts made earlier that reduced library budgets and eliminated Sunday services. Major support from city leadership has emphasized the importance of libraries as vital community institutions.
Thanks to New York City's new $115.9 billion budget, 10 more public library branches across the five boroughs will now be open seven days a week.
The funding restores weekend access for readers, researchers and kids hunting down graphic novels, after a rollercoaster few years of cuts, closures and clawbacks.
