Public libraries reveal their most borrowed books of 2023
Not all libraries track checkouts, and there isn't one definitive national list. But this year lots of people checked out Lessons in Chemistry, Prince Harry's memoir Spare, and Colleen Hoover's books.
At the end of every year, public libraries around the country assemble lists of the books most borrowed by readers. From Charleston, S.C. to Cincinnati, Ohio, from New Orleans, La. to Minnetonka, Minn., readers favored buzzy memoirs and novels adapted into TV miniseries.
"We hadby Bonnie Garmus as our number one checkout," says, the country's largest public library system, at least in terms of holdings, visitors and circulation.
