Sunday Service Suspended at All NYPL Locations

November 16, 2023

Brooklyn Public Library, Queens Public Library, and The New York
Public Library regret to announce that as a result of mid-year budget
cuts, we must eliminate seven-day service across the city, including
ending Sunday service at the vast majority of locations that
currently offer it. November 26, 2023, will be the last day of Sunday
service at the following NYPL locations: Bronx Library Center, Grand
Concourse, Jefferson Market, Parkchester, Stavros Niarchos Foundation
Library (SNFL), Stephen A. Schwarzman Building, Todt
Hill-Westerleigh, and Washington Heights.

These service changes are the result of New York City's recently
announced annual November Financial Plan, which included cuts to
public library budgets as well as cuts to city agencies. Learn more
about these announced cuts.

Stay informed about important service updates from The New York
Public Library and learn how you can get involved.
