The Brooklyn Public Library president responds that full restoration of funding would be required to enable this.

  • Full restoration of funding is needed to reinstate Sunday hours for all libraries
  • Additional funding on top of the restored funding would enable proper full staffing levels
  • The council member is inquiring specifically about funding amounts required
  • The library president does not provide exact dollar figures in her responses
