That’s a wrap! Spotify are not the only ones wrapping up in December! We have put together a ‘wrapped’, which details the top authors, top books, top genre, and the total number of books borrowed in 2024. Here’s ‘St Cuthbert’s Wrapped’! To check out the animated clip visit our Library’s X page @StCuthbertsRead A whopping 6626 books were borrowed from the library this year! Of the books borrowed, it appears action and adventure was the most favoured genre. The most popular author in 2024 was Jeff Kinney, followed closely by Matt and Tom Oldfield with their football narratives. Well done to all those who have used the library this year. We look forward to seeing what our 2025 ‘wrapped’ looks like next year!
