Treasures
New York Public LibraryAndrew NeedhamThe New York Public Library's main branch is one of NYC's treasures, a great public research library, with hours that allow non-professional scholars to pursue research when they are not doing other work. Any budget that removes that possibility makes NYC and the world worse off. https://t.co/YNT7V70YqN
