CUF’s third annual assessment of library hours compares New York City’s public libraries with library systems in the nation’s ten largest cities and New York State’s ten largest counties. Although New York City’s branch libraries are now open significantly more hours per week than at any point in the past decade, NYC’s libraries are still open fewer hours than most of the largest library systems in the nation and large New York State counties.
