What You Read Most in 2023

As 2023 comes to an end, it’s time to reflect on what books you read the most over the past year!

What captivated our library readers this year was the Pulitzer Prize-winner story of Appalachian poverty Demon Copperhead by Barbara Kingsolver; the thrilling account of the KKK’s rise to power in the 1920s, A Fever in the Heartland, by PNW author Timothy Egan; and the tell-all memoir Spare by Prince Harry.
