12 One Sentence Library Stories We Love
Right now, New York City leaders are trying to decide how much funding to give libraries next year. To meet rising demands, libraries are hoping to have their budgets restored to 2008 levels. City leaders will make this decision based on hearing from folks like you.
That's why we've been asked New Yorkers to tell us in one sentence why they love the library or how it has impacted their life—and 2,000 New Yorkers have already written sentences! Some have been funny, some have been heartwarming, but all have shown the many ways public libraries serve an important role in communities all over New York City.
It was hard to narrow it down, but we pulled a few of our favorite stories to share with you, and hope you'll read the rest and submit your own!
