Libraries are great places to read with your child and to attend special activities and events. Many branches offer free story hours, arts and crafts, workshops, films, and (most importantly!) the opportunity to borrow books. The New York Public Library publishes a monthly “Events” booklet that lists citywide activities and programs and is available at each branch.
