THE NEW YORK PUBLIC LIBRARY LAUNCHES PLANS TO INCREASE LIBRARY


AWARENESS

The New York Library plans new programs for 2017

KENNESAW, Ga. (Feb. 21, 2017)--- The New York Public Library plans to increase the

number of programs this year that are geared towards mothers, children and unemployed

individuals. The dates for these programs will be announced soon to the public.

The Library plans to organize more programs and informational get-togethers to share all the

different ways the library helps those in its community. Such programs include more story times

to increase an interest in reading, more competitive programs for children to read more,

informational meetings to emphasize the amount of money saved by borrowing from the library,

and more emphasis on the technology programs that help teach computer skills for free.

The New York Public Library has provided books and information to New Yorkers for more

than a century and is building on that legacy by increasing access to our collections both

physically and online, said Thomas Matthews, president of The New York Public Library.

Through these efforts regarding the collection and by increasing our programs, the public's

views on the usefulness of libraries will change for the better and will show government officials

why libraries are so important to the community.

With help from the President, the various library branches and the library staff members, the

programs for 2017 plan to increase awareness, regarding how useful libraries are, by 20 percent.

I am looking forward to the upcoming programs, said MaryAnn Russell, a long-standing

member of the New York Public Library. With more patrons coming in it would ensure the

existence of libraries for years to come.

Due to the recent increase of electronic books and Kindles being used by the public, The New

York Public Library is trying to increase the public's awareness over why libraries should still

exist. said Eva Cordero a long time librarian at the New York Public Library
