This idea would build off of the existing infrastructure to expand existing offerings across the NYPL, bringing financial literacy to all branches for example, or parent/baby classes, language, games like bridge or mah jongg, creative writing, history. It could also offer opportunities for neighbors to suggest and vote on what classes they would like -- much in the spirit of participatory budgeting. Perhaps we could use ranked choice voting to do this, which would also educate folks on the process that will be used for NYC primaries.</p><p><strong>Who would that help?</strong></p><p>All NYC adults in Manhattan!</p><p><strong>What NYC borough would benefit from your idea?</strong></p><p>Manhattan</p>"},"title":{"en":"Expansion of Adult Education at NYPL"}}
