There are so many aspects as to what makes a desirable community.  Obviously good schools, low crime rate and city services are assets. 

When I was young, my mother used to take me to storytime at the library; we went each week and I loved it.  When my daughters were young, I took them too.  I believe the love of books is important to instill in children and being familiar with the library used to be important.  Now… with everything available on computers not so much. But storytime is still a great experience for children, so I have compiled a list:
