Selected from the millions of books that have been checked out of the library since 1895, Ezra Jack Keats’ children’s story The Snowy Day, described as a “charming, beautifully illustrated tale of a child enjoying the simple magic that snow brings to his city,” tops the list.

And, perhaps the best suggestion from Bec, the Blue

‘Pantheon’ aka Meteor 3200:
