Libraries Are for Everyone: #NoCutsToLibraries

Since their founding more than a century ago, New York City's public libraries have offered vital support to all, regardless of background, income, birthplace, or beliefs.

We used to go to the library every single weekend. After Sunday hours were cut, we go when we can on Saturday but my 10 y/o feels the loss of weekly new books to read. If all weekend hours are cut, working families will basically lose access. I can't stress how busy and necessary weekend hours are.

New @upjohninstitute.bsky.social working paper with Hilary Wething on the impact of paid sick leave and hours worked. We found that the policy supported low-wage workers to increase work by 4.4 hours/quarter. See @hilwething.bsk.social 's thread for details and links to the paper and brief.
