The New York State Education Department and the New York State Library have approved 197 construction awards to projects for public libraries and public library systems in legislative districts throughout New York State. These awards are supported by a $34 million capital fund appropriation in the 2022-2023 State Budget for library construction and renovation projects. We thank you for your continuing support of this important program.
We hope the members of the Senate and Assembly will take the opportunity to announce the 2022-2023 awards in their districts. We will delay our formal notification to the press for five business days to accommodate you and allow you to make the announcement to your constituents. We will then send out a press release announcing all construction projects.
