But does this mean NYPD will only get 9 hydrogen bombs rather than 10?

While I’m not a NYC resident, this makes me so happy. When I was a child and in college I utilized the library so much. I even had a part time page job. They’re important spaces for those in low income and/or unsafe households. They were an important part of how I got through school and childhood.
