K 115 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim February 2025, as Library Lover's Month in the State of New York

This resolution asks Governor Kathy Hochul to officially declare February 2025 as "Library Lover's Month" in New York State, aligning with National Library Lover's Month. It does not create new laws or funding; it is a ceremonial recognition of libraries' roles as community hubs, educational resources, and safe spaces for all ages. The resolution highlights libraries' functions in providing books, technology, arts access, and preservation services. It was adopted by the Assembly on February 24, 2025, and will be sent to the Governor for consideration. As a symbolic gesture, it has no direct policy impact on library operations or funding.
