The most checked-out books of all times
The New York Public Library, with one of the largest library collections in the United States, just published a list of its 10 most checked-out books of all times. Unsurprisingly, most of the books on the list were written for young people, and eight of the ten are available at our own libraries. So if you’re curious about what makes these books so popular, stop in and check out a copy.
