"We might be living in the digital age, but nothing beats taking your child to a really good library. When I was a kid, well before electronics ruled our lives, I was always fascinated by how you could transform your mind and knowledge just by absorbing all that the library had to offer. When I became a mom, I took my kids to the library weekly, long before they could read."
"The 53rd Street Library is one of those city secrets in Midtown that can get overlooked. It's bright and modern, and there are lots of fun, art-inspired programs and events throughout the year. And a big plus is that it's right next to MoMA! They have a nice mix of books for kids, teens, and adults, plus popular fiction, large-print titles, DVDs, CDs, and plenty of tech, along with 68 computers, including 46 laptops."
New York libraries offer child-friendly spaces with toddler and preschool classes, family storytimes, and hands-on play that encourage early literacy. Weekly visits can include classes, exploring multiple sections, and taking home piles of books to read together. Late fees no longer exist, easing borrowing for families. The 53rd Street Library features bright, modern spaces, art-inspired programs, proximity to MoMA, and a mix of books, media, and 68 public computers including 46 laptops. A Children's Room, Teen Zone, live virtual toddler storytime, and in-person classes such as Toddler Time, Family Storytime, Young Readers Book Club, Lego & Coloring Hour, and Baby Lapsit serve varied ages. The Mulberry Street library in SoHo occupies a former chocolate factory and includes first-floor media and lower basement levels.
