Longwood parents have five free storytime sessions on tap this month, spread across just two libraries: the NYPL Hunts Point Library and the QPL Peninsula Branch. The lineup mixes movement-based reads like "Little Movers Storytime" with a quieter "School-Age Read Aloud & Coloring" hour. The Queens library branch targets toddlers up to 60 months, while the Bronx sessions leave ages open. All events are free, so pick a day and drop in. Upcoming listings are below.
