One of my favorite childhood memories is going to the library the week that school was over for the summer. My mom would load us up with a book bag and take us to our local library where we could check out as many as we wanted. My sisters and I would devour our books as fast as possible so that we could return again and again to that magical place of books.

I hope to instill this joy of reading in my son and am so happy that we have the Rochester Public Library to discover as he grows. Not only is it a book haven, but you can also check out dvd’s, games, and magazines. The library also hosts lots of fun family events throughout the year. Here are a few that will be happening this summer.  (Check the calendar on RHPL website as dates can change)
