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.

ECRIC is located on the second floor of the Hudson Park Branch Library.

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.

Come prepared to share the room as a family and with other library patrons.
