Incredible how many fake news regarding Gaza are on lemmy. The public library in New York has not been closed due to budget cuts. Thats plain and simple fake news: https://www.nypl.org/speakout

In November they did announce they were closing on Sundays due to budget cuts [1]. From what I can tell, that went into effect in mid-December [2]. The budget cuts were reversed last week [3]. So as far as I can tell, they were in fact closed for awhile.
