NYC Baselines Library Funding

摘要

For the second year in a row, the proposed New York City capital budget provided a healthy allocation for the city's three library systems. In a handshake agreement announced on June 8, Mayor Bill de Blasio-along with speaker Melissa Mark-Viverito, Finance Committee chair Julissa Ferreras-Copeland, and members of the New York City Council-presented the proposed $82.1 billion capital budget, which included $43 million in funding for the city's libraries. The funding restores and baselines an extra $21 million for libraries in FY17.
