Between sports practices and playdates, it can be hard to slow down and enjoy the simplicity that books bring us. Storytime is one of our family’s favorite times of day. In Rochester, there are many opportunities to catch storytimes in our surrounding area. Whether indoors, outdoors, at a nursery or greenhouse, or library – we have compiled a list to ensure you will find one perfect for your family.
