Mayor Eric Adams has ordered budget cuts for libraries, schools, and social services in the coming fiscal year. New Yorkers should demand a more democratic process — one where they have a say in the city budget’s priorities. https://t.co/ARtW3swBpn
Why was the 42nd St @nypl going to open late?
One of the guards who fends off wandering tourists to keep the Reading Rm quiet told us: The morning off was needed for the mental health of the staff who had endured an influx of visitors avging 36,000 / day during the holiday season
Congratulations and thanks to the Friends of the Picture Collection for their hard work in preserving access!
The collection will remain browsable.

Hats off to @savenypl, @DefendLibraries, @LibraryLoversNY who fought tirelessly to prevent Mid-Manhattan Library (MML) from being sold to developers and demolished for luxury condos.

So relieved to hear these beautiful libraries - all gifted to the people of NYC a century ago - will be saved from demolition to make way for high rises as happened e.g. in Brooklyn Heights and across from MoMA.
