The Library Cubs Membership Program promotes the importance of reading and libraries to families. Each year over five million children use the Library as a place to pursue dreams, feed their curiosity, and let their imaginations soar. Funds from the Library Cubs Program help ensure the availability of children's resources at The New York Public Library.
