Today, I joined @joshmatlow and @cllrainslie to discuss a budget that protects and expands library services. Libraries are special places. They're one of the few places people can come for free. Where anyone can access programs and services. Libraries make life more affordable.

Our libraries are about books. They’re also places for families, seniors & youth to study, socialize and for all of us to be well. I was proud to join @MayorOliviaChow & @cllrainslie at Deer Park to announce expanded library hours, including Sundays, in branches across the city.
