The Bronx is in my blood. Born and raised in Kingsbridge, I’ve seen firsthand how vibrant, diverse, and proud our community is. These murals are a celebration of who we are and what makes the Bronx so special. 🎥: @NYCCMediaUnit

Seven day library service has been extended to 11 more branches, thanks to an additional $2 million investment from the @nyccouncil! Watch @EricDinowitzNYC @JustinBrannan @dr_yusefsalaam having a good time breaking it down. @nypl @BKLYNlibrary @QPLNYC

Today we dedicated a bench in City Hall Park to celebrate the life of Carlos Cariño-Higgins. For 25 years, Carlos was a vital part of @NYCCouncil, leading with kindness, dedication, and a deep love for NYC. His legacy of service lives on, and we are proud to carry it forward.

Happy Thanksgiving from me & all my friends at the United Senior Citizens of Sunset Park. 🦃🍁 Today, I'm grateful for my beautiful community. It's an honor to serve all of you and fight for a better future alongside you. 🌇 Filmed by @NYCCouncil photographer William Alatriste

Youth is where it's at! Watch this great video conceived and shot this summer by @Lynn4NYC's LYNNTERNS, part of our Summer Youth Employment Program cohorts.

“Let’s celebrate good news when we get it, and this today is great news.” -Tony Marx @NYPL President There’s no better news than Sunday service at @NYPLSNFL! New Yorkers rely on our libraries and the Council is proud to restore $58.3M to bring our libraries back to full service.
