Dear Library Members,
The Mayor’s proposed City of New Haven budget will be in discussion during the last public hearing this week and includes an increase in funding for your public library system to expand service hours to include Sundays.
Expanding service hours means giving our residents who only have Sundays as an option to visit and use the Library an opportunity to access those critical services that the New Haven Free Public Library uniquely offers everyone – free access to technology, a pathway to lifelong learning, space to build connection and community with neighbors, a chance to apply for that next job or get research help for that first small business, and a safe place for families to enjoy building literacy together.
If you approve of the expansion of library services that would be possible with this budget proposal, there is still time to share your support in the following ways:
Thursday, April 21 at 6 pm Public Hearing # 3 Hillhouse High School Auditorium
****For last minutes changes to Board of Alder meetings, please check the City of New Haven meetings calendar
Thank you for your continued support of the New Haven Free Public Library and the community it serves
