You might not expect to find “Candide” and “Captain Underpants” on the same lineup, but here we are.
As of this writing, the library has revealed all but their top five most popular titles.Top 5 Most Borrowed Books of All Time at the Brooklyn Public Library“The Cat in the Hat,” Dr. Seuss"Where the Wild Things Are" is the most popular book of all time in the Brooklyn Public Library.“Where the Wild Things Are,” by the late Brooklynite Maurice Sendak, was first published in 1963. The next year, it was awarded the Caldecott Medal, one of the most prestigious awards for children’s books.
Dr. Seuss, whose classic “The Cat in the Hat” was the third most checked-out book of all time, made the list 17 times. “Green Eggs and Ham” also cracked the top 20, coming in at #11; so did “Fox in Socks,” which was #18. Mo Willems – familiar to many who became parents after 2003, the year he published his first book, “Don’t Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus!” – has eight books in the top 125. The other seven are all from his “Elephant and Piggie” series.“Are You There God, It’s Me, Margaret,” the classic from Judy Blume, landed in the 125th spot.Harper Lee’s “To Kill a Mockingbird” came in ninth.
The idea for the Most Borrowed List was hatched in July, when the library reached a different milestone: It loaned its one billionth item. Kenton said her team started to wonder what, exactly, had the library been loaning? And what was most beloved?
