PLR

We love celebrating books and the vital role public libraries play in connecting readers with the authors they love, so today we’re sharing some of the most borrowed ones from the last few months.

Feeling the love this Valentine’s Day ❤️ Feedback like this reminds us why we do what we do. A huge thank you to all our PLR users who have taken the time to share such lovely words. It really does make our day. #PublicLendingRight #LoveReading
