Council Member Carlina Rivera inquires about the awareness among New Yorkers of the efforts made by libraries in combating nationwide book banning. Anthony W. Marx, President of the New York Public Library, responds by acknowledging a growing awareness, catalyzed in part by the publicity of the council hearing, Rivera's work, and the library's resistance efforts against book banning. However, Marx indicates there's still more work to be done in raising awareness.
