Devil's advocate -
Isn't 0.4% of a gigantic city's budget for just library services really fuckin expensive?
Do they mean that their budget's been cut by 50+ million?
It's a gigantic library, #1 in the world by visitors by a lot, #4 by number of books, and they're doing that in NYC in buildings that look like this and a bunch of the books are 600 years old or have George Washington's handwriting on them, so it's real fucking expensive.
