Here at The Indypendent, we believe in the power of the written word, the value of making information freely available to all and the importance of defending non-commercial public spaces. In that spirit, our May cover story focuses on NYC’s 200+ public libraries. At a time when library access should be greatly expanded, Mayor Eric Adams is seeking to cut library spending by $36 million — which could lead to weekend closures and other cuts in services — while shoveling more money into the NYPD. Will City Council go along? Not if we have anything to do with it.
