What Was Most Popular in 2019?

Published: December 11, 2019

Our Annual List of the 100 Top Titles In Arlington

It's safe to say that Arlington is a reading town - and you have excellent taste!

The 100 most popular titles in 2019 include memoirs, thrillers, history, mythology, dystopia, romance and adventure, as well as magazines, DVDs and a whole lot of Elephant and Piggy!

Which of the Top 100 Have You Read (or Watched)?

The list is organized from left to right, in descending rows: "Educated" had the most checkouts in 2019, "Becoming" had the second most checkouts, etc. Use the genre/format/audience buttons to limit the list to only items within that genre, format or audience.

Please note: As in previous years, the Top 100 of 2019 list only tracks borrowing data for physical materials at all Library locations between January and November.

    Why are DVDs mixed in with books?

      Mark,

      Those DVDs were among the 100 most borrowed physical items in the Library collection between January and November, 2019.
