New York City libraries will reopen on Sundays

New York City libraries will reopen on Sundays. Mayor Eric Adams announced the restoration of funding for city libraries.

City will reverse funding cuts libraries for $58,3 million, which was announced back in November last year. The move will likely restore six-day service in all libraries.

In addition to the book depository budget, the city will also restore funding for cultural institutions throughout the city.

In a joint statement, representatives of the reading rooms noted that Sunday service would likely be restored in the “coming weeks.” Libraries will open the same hours as before the November cuts.

“The funding will allow us to continue the universal six-day service that New Yorkers have enjoyed for nearly a decade,” the statement said.

This news was greeted with great enthusiasm. The City Council and ordinary New Yorkers complained for months about the cuts and intensified pressure campaigns that Mayor Adams could not ignore.

There are several reasons to keep libraries open on weekends.

One is that New Yorkers are facing a heat wave, and the forced closure of libraries on Sundays has negatively impacted New Yorkers' health as reading rooms serve as much-needed cooling centers.
