Most Circulated Titles at the Free Library, Part I

By Michelle S. RSS Mon, January 31, 2011

We are often asked which titles are the most frequently checked out here at the Free Library. To answer this question, our hardworking Materials Management staff has compiled several lists of the top 10 circulated book and DVD titles throughout the Free Library system in 2010. Free Library patrons really seem to love James Patterson--FOUR of his novels made the cut!

Keep in mind that these lists only encompass adult titles--blog entries featuring the most circulated children's book and DVD titles, as well as the most circulated ebook titles are coming soon!
