The Early Childhood Resource and Information Center houses an extensive
collection of scholarly and popular materials that focus on children from
birth to age six. The Center regularly offers workshops and seminars for
parents and professionals by leading educators and childcare practitioners.
ECRIC's Family Room is designed to foster a child's development through
interaction with an adult, and features a large collection of books, puzzles,
toys, and CDs.
The Early Childhood Resource and Information Center (ECRIC) is a unique
center of The New York Public Library dedicated to serving the needs of
young children (birth to age 6), their parents, caregivers, teachers,
and other early childhood professionals.
The Family Room is the heart of ECRIC. It is a place where the parent
or caregiver and child can work together in an environment created to
stimulate and meet the developmental interests of infants and young children.
The room holds a special collection of books, toys, and learning tools
and includes a carpeted block area, housekeeping and dramatic play spaces,
drawing easels, climbing & sliding equipment, puzzles, and other learning
tools.
