Summer Reading at New York Libraries

Welcome to Summer Reading for children!

Reading with your baby, toddler or preschooler is a special experience. Sharing stories develops language skills, helps kids get ready for school, and is fun!

Sign up your baby, toddler or preschooler to join your library’s summer reading program. Browse our booklists and visit your public library for more great books and ideas.

Share books, share ideas. Read and write reviews of the books you are reading and connect with other parents and children.

Have fun! On this site you’ll find a variety of activities, fun printables, fingerplays, reading tips, and ideas for family adventures close to home.
