Starting September 7, eleven library branches in New York City will open on Sundays, increasing the total to over 30 branches. This extension is funded by a $2 million investment, part of a broader $15 million increase for the city's three library systems. City Council Speaker Adrienne Adams emphasized the importance of libraries as essential public resources, which provide educational and economic opportunities to residents across all neighborhoods. The expansion also includes enhancements in service days at select branches, particularly in Queens Public Library.
"I proposed expanding 7-day library service across the city in my 2025 State of the City address, because libraries are among our most precious public resources, serving New Yorkers of all ages in every neighborhood."
"I'm proud that we have secured an additional $2 million in the city budget to deliver for more neighborhoods and ensure even more residents have access to economic and educational opportunities."
