The New York Public Library's Stephen A. Schwarzman Building may be made of stone, but that doesn't mean it couldn't use a hug, right? Tomorrow the group Urban Librarians Unite is planning to do just that—they're holding a "hug the library" event!
Their public show of affection is meant "to call attention to the potentially devastating budget cuts being proposed by the city." The NYPL, for example, is facing a $40 million proposed cut. If you want to show your love, be there by 2 p.m. and join hundreds of library supporters who plan to surround the landmark and give it a great big hug. And don't forget to pat the lions on the head, while you're at it.
If you can't make it, or are just anti-PDA, you can send a letter to your city councilmembers instead—take action here!
