As you already know, our children are suffering because of reasons like this. There are less money being focused on libraries, so our kids are losing out on the importance of books. Times are getting harder and we should be prepared to start thinking smarter. These children are our future and it's time to start treating them like it!!!
Thank you,
Dellon Tobin

It's depriving them of safe places to go rather than to be in the streets. And it's restricting their ability to guide their own education and in a way infinitely more rewarding than the hours spent in school training for standardized exams. Please take this into account with your decisions. Thank you.

The library provides many great services that its patrons rely on and appreciate immensely. I have experienced this first hand and I urge those who have the power to restore the NYPL's funding to do so. They have a duty to the public that must be upheld.

Children at risk and those whose family economics prohibit the purchase of books need libraries and librarians.

In fact, now is the time to INCREASE library hours, not cut back on them.

They are a godsend to those who do not have a lot of money, but have a passion for reading. If you put cuts on something so amazing, but worry so much about putting more jobs in the community, you will be ignoring the fact that children are our future. What good will more jobs do, if there are no intelligent people to fill them?
