Libraries Open Through June

Yesterday, the Nutter administration decided that the 11 libraries stated for closure would remain open through the end of the fiscal year (June 30). Huzzah! Let’s get a quote:

“What we heard loud and clear from the public was that the public felt that keeping libraries open is a priority,” said Don Schwartz, deputy mayor for health and opportunity.

Wait. What? The deputy mayor for health and opportunity?! Jesus. Can I be deputy mayor for transportation, hope, change and progress?

Anyway: Libraries open ’til at least the end of June.
