| Title | New York Libraries’ Adult English Programs Face Cuts |
| Body | New York Libraries’ Adult English Programs Face Cuts by Kate Taylor May 30, 2010 he New York Public Library is one of many providers of free English classes in New York City. The Queens and Brooklyn Public Libraries offer them, as do the New York City Department of Education, the City University of New York, and various nonprofit community groups.

If the cuts go through, the library says that in addition to closing 10 branches and cutting service across the system to four days from six, it will have to cut the number of English language classes it offers from 117 to 48, and the number of spots from roughly 3,000 to less than 1,300.
