Check out our "best sellers" from 2016!

Every year we like to share our "best sellers" list from the year before-- the top ten most checked out books in the city of Richmond from 2016. Last year's numbers were interesting for a variety of reasons, especially for the fact that two locations were closed for half the year.

If we look at check-outs at all the branches together, our top ten looks like this:

1. The girl on the train : a novel / Paula Hawkins
2. All the light we cannot see / Anthony Doerr
3. The nightingale / Kristin Hannah
4. No more Mr. Nice Guy : a family business novel / Carl Weber
5. The nest / Cynthia D'Aprix
6. The life-changing magic of tidying up / Marie Kondo
7. Carl Weber's Kingpins. Cleveland / Brandi Johnson
8. The last mile / David Baldacci
9. Go set a watchman / Harper Lee
10. Carl Weber's Kingpins. Philadelphia / Brittani Williams

However, each of our branches serves a community with their own distinct reading preferences. Click a pin on the map below to see how your neighborhood read last year:
