City Council Member Jimmy Van Bramer was in attendance at City Hall last Tuesday, May 1, as Mayor Michael Bloomberg signed into law the expansion of the Library Card Act.

Van Bramer is joined in the photo by City Council Member James Gennaro, Queens Library President and CEO Thomas W. Galante, New York Public Library President Anthony W.
