GPL’s Top Tens of 2023

One fun aspect of a new year is taking the time to reflect upon the previous one. And one of our favorite ways to do that is to compile top ten lists of what our patrons enjoyed the most.

Click on the title/series name to be taken to the available formats in our card catalog – this includes Libby-only titles. You can also click on any author/illustrator name to check out what else of theirs is in GPL’s collection.

To keep series from dominating an entire category, they are combined into one listing.

Enjoy looking over these lists, and maybe discovering something new, too!
