You can see from the list that suspense and mystery fiction is really huge. “Fiction titles usually are the most popular in public libraries. In 2022 our top title was actually Deborah Wiles’, Kent State, which was the 2022 county-wide title for One Book, One Community, which is organized annually by the Tuscarawas County Literacy Coalition.
Overall, the circulation at the Dover Public Library was over 283,000, which includes all formats of circulating materials such as books, DVDs, eBooks, audiobooks and magazines.
We would also like to invite you to participate in the library’s 100 Book Club which challenges people to read 100 books over the course of 2023. This is a fun and very challenging annual tradition at our library. We provide the reading log which helps participants track the books they have read. At the conclusion of the year, a special reception is held at the library to honor those who accomplished the feat.
