Welcome back! I hope you all enjoyed the nice long snow break we had. It's been a few years since we've had so many consecutive days off due to snow. I enjoyed looking at pictures and watching videos on Facebook of some of you sledding with your family, as I did with mine.
I thought it might be a good time to introduce you to a few titles we have in the library about such weather. When you get a chance, be sure to stop by the library to check out one. I've included the call numbers to help you find them more easily.

F.Y.I. The I Survived book by Lauren Tarshis is based on the real event chronicled in the non-fiction book The Children's Blizzard. If you would like to watch a fictionalized story loosely based on it, I highly recommend the episode titled "Blizzard" from the television show Little House on the Prairie. It is episode 11 from season 3. It shows just how fast people, especially school children, were caught off guard by the fast developing snowstorm.
Here is a link to watch the episode on Daily Motion if you can't find it on any other streaming services or don't have it on DVD, etc.
