The library is a large, multipurpose space where children can read on their own, listen to a story in the comfortable class-size seating area, explore digital maps and old books, and examine carefully assembled collections of items from the New-York Historical Society. Families should hunt carefully in the library – there are objects hidden throughout the space!

It is also the setting for a Story Hour every Sunday morning at 11:30 am, Little New-Yorkers every Tuesday and Friday at 3:30 pm, and meet the authors programs.
