Sunday Library Hours Reduction

The mayor's budget funds Sunday hours at Central plus two branches instead of four, cutting the two branches added in 2026. Ald. Dimitrijevic and Spiker objected, tying it to the city's child literacy crisis; the budget office says branch usage and the survey don't support the hours.

All went to the new Health and Wellness subcommittee ahead of the October 15 youth summit.
