Brooklyn Library is facing rather dramatic potential budget cuts that would also affect our local branches on Fort Hamilton Parkway and Ditmas Avenues. They expect to cut the average weekly hours of service at all neighborhood libraries from 44 to 32 hours, cut many free programs, and access to free computers.
To learn more, read BPL Executive Director Dionne Mack-Harvin's full testimony in support of BPL to the New York City Council. If you feel strongly that a local library adds value to your life in the neighborhood - let your elected officials know! Be sure to stop by the branch and add your name to the petition at your local library too.
