"The Little Engine That Could"?
Glad to see they still check out books, and here I thought these public libraries just catered to those who wanted free internet and free porn.
I’ve never heard of The Snowy Day but the rest of the top 10 is incredibly famous.

In many ways, this is sad.
Obviously, many little children are encouraged to read. Maybe they check out the book themselves. Maybe Mom or Dad checks out “Snowy Day” or “Very Hungry Caterpillar”, or “Charlotte’s Web”.
And then, at some point — for many people this happens before High School — people stop reading books. I know a lot of people who haven’t read a book for pleasure for years. Personally, I own over 5000 of them. Have read most of what I own.
I see 1984 on the list.
My first reaction was a hopeful one.
Then I realized most NYers reading it probably though it was an instruction manual rather than a prophetic warning tome.

What’s a “diverse children’s book?”
I guess the reason Dreams from My Father and It Takes a Village didn't make the top ten is that most New Yorkers bought their own personal copies.
with the exception of Harry Potter, these were required reading material in school. Whether it was grade school or high school.
I do wonder, which books were least likely to be returned? (Bundy’d)

Interesting... To Kill a Mockingbird.
I believe that it is banned our grade school.
