Why Is New York City Planning to Sell and Shrink Its Libraries?

Defend our libraries, don't defund them. . . . . fund 'em, don't plunder 'em

Mayor Bloomberg defunded New York libraries at a time of increasing public use, population growth and increased city wealth, shrinking our library system to create real estate deals for wealthy real estate developers at a time of cutbacks in education and escalating disparities in opportunity. It’s an unjust and shortsighted plan that will ultimately hurt New York City’s economy and competitiveness.

It should NOT be adopted by those we have now elected to pursue better policies.

CARTOONS, IMAGES, VIDEOS


•        Cartoons and Images
This cartoon by Mark Hurwitt has been a favorite for people to complain about, including a complaint from at least one trustee on the board of one of the libraries who works for one of the city's biggest real estate companies.  The complaint is about the "tone" of CDL's message.  Mark Hurwitt say that, professionally speaking, cartoonists consider such complaints a true measure of the success of what they have accomplished.
