Well I just want to thank you all again.
1:25:28
Just turn to my colleagues, see if they have any other questions.
1:25:31
Okay.
1:25:33
Your branches are amazing.
1:25:35
The people inside of them make them truly special places in New York City.
1:25:40
I think we all have a story about that librarian, that person that we met that will stay with us forever.
1:25:49
And I think that's the only these are the only spaces in New York City where you can find information on composting, go to a job fair, get a prom dress, make a friendship bracelet, like all of these things, and read incredible works of literature that are going to be with us forever.
1:26:07
So it goes without saying you're deserving of our absolute commitment.
1:26:12
And so I want to thank you for your testimony today, for your work, for all of the people in your systems that show up to work every day to do such incredible, provide such incredible service.
1:26:23
So thank you, and see you soon.
1:26:25
Let me know.
