What free kids events do NYC libraries have?

NYC's three public library systems — NYPL, Brooklyn Public Library, and Queens Public Library — offer hundreds of free weekly events including storytimes, LEGO clubs, craft workshops, coding classes, chess, homework help, and teen programs across all 5 boroughs.

Do I need to register for library storytimes in NYC?

Most library storytimes are drop-in and don't require registration. Some special programs (like holiday events or limited-capacity workshops) may require RSVP. NYC Kids Week marks which events need registration.
