It’s always fun to see what books patrons are checking out the most.
James Patterson and his various co-authors are the most popular, having eight books on our top 100 list. Stuart Woods follows with six titles on the list, and Danielle Steel rounds out the top three with five titles.
Most of the titles aren’t surprising as they are popular authors. I suspect Margaret Atwood’s The Handmaid’s Tale made the list because of the popularity of the television show (we have the first season on...

Most of us know what type of books we enjoy and tend to stick to two or three genres or our favourite authors. There’s nothing wrong with knowing what you like, but sometimes it’s good to try something new.

Young Adult Books for All Ages by Emily Smith

Young adult books is a genre targeted towards teenagers. The genre is meant to bridge the gap for readers between children’s books and adult fiction. However, in recent years, the genre has become much more than that. Naturally, young adult books deal with typical coming of age issues, including friendships, romance, family issues, and school.
