As the winds of approaching winter roll through El Cerrito and Kensington, rustling the orange leaves of tree-lined streets, the chill air brings with it a need for comfort and immersion in warmth from the inside out. 

Getting tucked up with a book is one of winter's most sacred delights. Whether it's a beloved paperback with yellowed and frayed pages, or a brand new e-book downloaded at the click of a button — the options are ample for literary escape.
