Good Reads for Cold Days
The weather outside might be frightful (or just unpredictable), which makes it the perfect time to curl up beside the fire or with a cozy blanket with a good read. Looking for a way to keep the kids (or yourself!) entertained while on break and to warm up after a day spent playing in the snow? With a range of books from fiction to non-fiction, picture books and graphic novels, local authors and beyond, look no further than our booklist!
With a special thanks to our friends at the Victor-Farmington Library and Rochester Public Library!
