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.
