What’s Your Favourite Read?

Last week Australian libraries celebrated Library and Information Week. As a part of the celebrations the Australian Library and Information Association (ALIA) surveyed public libraries to find out what readers loved to borrow most.  The results were interesting.  There was a good mixture of Australian and international titles being borrowed by library patrons.  The top-ten lists for the categories surveyed are available on ALIA’s webpage by clicking here.
