Citizens Defending Libraries presented Mayor Michael Bloomberg with a petition of more than 15,000 signatures at City Hall on Tuesday, Oct. 22, urging him to halt his plan to shrink and sell New York's public libraries to private developers.
This issue resonated with voters in the recent election, perhaps no more distinctly than in the race for public advocate, in which Letitia James, a firm supporter of libraries who opposed Bloomberg's plan to shrink and sell them, won a resounding 60-40 victory.
This petition drive demonstrates that supporting the libraries is good politics and good policy.
