Patch Picks: Reading Recommendations From Your Friendly Librarians

In honor of Read Across America Day, Patch talked to Solon librarians to get their recommendations for children and adults

Here is our new feature called Patch Picks, highlighting editor and reader picks of great local businesses, destinations, services, organizations, ways to spend a day off, and more.  

You’ll find useful lists to help you, your family, friends, and significant others find the best places for everything from Sunday brunch to New Year’s Eve celebrations, pumpkin patches, date night destinations, florists, girlfriend nights out, kids' party places, parks and more.

In honor of Read Across America Day (which was Wednesday), we asked Danielle Parsons and Mark Faldowski, librarians at the Solon Public Library, for their recommendations.
