100 Staff Picks From a Public Library

"We maintain a lot of displays at my library, but one of our most popular displays is our collection of "Staff Picks," where we feature a rotating selection of our favorite books. Part of the display's popularity is that it features books with a Librarian Seal of Approval (TM), but we also have a very diverse group of readers working at the library and I believe that has a lot to do with the display's popularity as well. We read romance, horror, manga, science fiction, graphic novels, historical fiction, biographies, and more, and we read from a very diverse group of authors. So whether you're looking for a few librarian-recommended books to add to your TBR, or looking for a few more diverse reads, here are 100 of our staff's favorite books." - Katie McLain, BookRiot
