The Overlooked Books of 2022
Not into popularity contests? Not every great read of 2022 was a bestseller! With hundreds of new books released each month, it’s not surprising that some don’t get the attention they deserve.
The past year has been an exciting year for AAPLD. We concluded our 100th anniversary in February, we had record-high enrollment for our Summer Reading Challenge, added vinyl record options for checkout into our growing collection, became a Passport Application Center, announced a multi-million dollar renovation for our Eastgate Branch Library, and more! Thanks for being part of our community. We hope to see you browsing our book stacks, coming to a thrilling event with friends and family, and hanging out again in 2023.
