King County Library System (KCLS), one of the busiest library systems in the country, released its selections for the Best Books of 2018. The annual list includes KCLS’ top 25 titles each under four categories: adult fiction, adult nonfiction, teens and children’s.
Best Book lists are selected by nominations and votes from King County Library System librarians and staff members who, collectively, read hundreds of books each year. Once nominations are made and votes are tabulated, KCLS Readers' Services Program Coordinator Emily Calkins finalizes the lists.
"Our lists are unique because they reflect the interests of our staff and communities,” said Calkins. “Local writers appear on all four lists, and there's a range of genres and topics represented."
Following are King County Library System’s Best Books of 2018, in order of author’s last name:
All Best Books 2018 are available to check out and borrow in various formats, including print, audio, digital audio and eBook, at your local KCLS library or online to download at www.kcls.org.
