As the year comes to a close, the New York Public Library has unveiled the top checked-out books of 2024.

For the first time, the city’s three library systems — New York Public Library, Brooklyn Public Library and Queens Public Library — have combined their data to reveal the year’s most popular titles.

“As usual, most of the top checkouts were novels, including family sagas, romances and mysteries,” the library said of the list on its website. “Popular nonfiction titles included Erik Larson’s account of the buildup to the American Civil War, and David Grann’s 2017 book 'Killers of the Flower Moon,' a history of murder in the Osage Nation in the 1920s and the oldest title on this year’s list, which may have received a boost from Martin Scorsese’s Oscar-nominated movie adaptation.”

Leading the list is Gabrielle Zevin’s “Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow,” a novel that delves into themes of love, friendship and video games, which became the most borrowed book across all formats, including e-books, audiobooks and physical copies.

The runner-up citywide was Emily Henry’s romance “Happy Place,” followed by Rebecca Yarros’ fantasy romance “Fourth Wing.”

While Zevin’s novel reigned supreme citywide, preferences varied across boroughs.

In Manhattan and the Bronx, James McBride’s “The Heaven & Earth Grocery Store” topped the charts. Queens readers favored Yarros’ “Fourth Wing,” and on Staten Island, Kristin Hannah’s “The Women” was the most borrowed title. Brooklyn’s top checkout was Henry’s “Happy Place.”

The libraries also maintain separate lists for the most checked-out children's, teen and Spanish-language books.
