From the New York Daily News:
Outside the Flushing Branch of the Queens Borough Public Library, a dozen folks carried \”save the library\” signs as they walked back and forth, hoping Public Advocate Betsy Gotbaum would get their message . . .
\”My kids come to the library every day to use the computer, do research, read books. It gives me peace of mind knowing they are there and not out on the street,\” said Theresa Christian of Flushing. \”If they cut back, where are they going to go now?\”
Christian was among dozens of people who gathered at the library Friday afternoon to share their concerns with Gotbaum about the proposed budget cuts, which would translate into no more Sunday service, $1 million less spent on books and materials and a 25% cutback in programs . . .
