Some of the most checked-out books in public libraries across the country in 2024 include Kristin Hannah's The Women, Rebecca Yarros' Fourth Wing, and Emily Henry's Happy Place.

These books landed on the year-end wrap lists of public libraries in New York City, Cincinnati, Seattle and other cities.

Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow, by Gabrielle Zevin, was the most checked-out adult book in New York City and the second-most popular adult fiction book in Denver. There, The Heaven and Earth Grocery Store was number one; that novel by James McBride also made the most-borrowed lists at libraries in San Francisco, Westport, Conn., and Louisville, Ky.

How about initiative to understand their customers and acquire books people want to read instead of making a political statement or supporting a social justice cause.

The librarians don’t usually select the books. That is done by an office in the county government.
