New York libraries get $6 million for learning programs

The Wallace Foundation is donating $6 million to New York City’s three public library systems, specifically for programs to help libraries serve as learning places for school-age children during non-school hours. Brooklyn Public Library, the New York Public Library, and the Queens Borough Public Library (with 212 branches among them) will each receive $2 million in a three-year grant. Another $897,000 is going to the Urban Libraries Council to help improve coordination among the three library systems. Read more about the gift and the goals of the program in this press release on the Wallace Foundation site.
