The library system would also slash its collections budgets and hold off on certain repairs at facilities, in addition to delaying reopenings for recently renovated locations, resulting in “fewer available programs,” Marx wrote. Officials at the Brooklyn Public Library and the Queens Public Library confirmed they would also be facing the prospect of cutting weekend service if the cuts go through.
Maglisa Wilson, another visitor at the Harlem library, said she cares for a young boy who is autistic, and that the cozy, safe space at the library has helped him adapt to being around other kids.Not every parent can afford an iPad for a kid to learn.“Not every parent can afford an iPad for a kid to learn. Libraries offer books that you can borrow and return, which will help parents that can’t afford to buy books,” she said.
