Winter Learning Ideas from the New York Public Library

Families know that winter usually means special holiday celebrations and a nice break from school. But how do you keep kids engaged in learning without missing out on the fun of the season?

The 89 sites of the New York Public Library (in Manhattan, the Bronx and Staten Island) offer fun and educational programs all year long. Best of all, they’re free! Check out the schedule here.

The NYPL also lists the top 100 children’s books of 2007—for every age, reading level, and interest. Find the perfect winter reading here.

If you’d rather curl up in front of the computer than on the couch with a book, you can even “read” some of the NYPL’s best children’s books on-line! Simply click here, pick your books and you’re ready to go with great winter reading.
