Brooklyn, N.Y.: No library cuts!

At the Brooklyn Central Library at Grand Army Plaza, librarians protested cuts in jobs and services in the New York Public Library system on Sept. 16. As several branch libraries in the Brooklyn area face closure, protesters say the main library will have to cope with increased pressure for services without an increase in funding and jobs there. After rallying outside the library, the protesters moved inside for a confrontation with the library’s board at one of their meetings. See citizensdefendinglibraries.blogspot.com.
