NYC KIDS RALLY FOR LIBRARIES; CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS URGE FULL FUNDING

摘要

More than a dozen New York City Council members, the presidents of New York's three library systems, and several hundred librarians, library staff, supporters, advocates, and children from nearby schools rallied on May 22 on the steps of city hall to protest $106 million in proposed funding cuts. Council members Jimmy Van Bramer and Vincent J. Gentile also pledged to introduce legislation that would create a baseline of stable funding for the city's public library services.
