The Great Children’s Read is a free celebration of reading featuring live entertainment for children and families, presented by Target and held at Columbia University. A list of New York’s Top 20 All-Time Favorite Children’s Books was specially selected this year by children’s librarians from the three public library systems of New York City. Celebrities from film, TV and Broadway will read from the 20 books on the list at The Great Children’s Read. There will also be live musical entertainment. Admission to The Great Children’s Read at Columbia University is free and open to the public. Columbia University is located in Manhattan at Broadway & 116th Street.
