#1 Library in Poughkeepsie, NY Shares Most Borrowed Books of 2021

Was part of your New Years Resolution to read more books? Are you constantly looking for new suggestions of things to read? Are you a part of a book club? Have you found a way to get your hands on new books, to read and share with others?

A great resource that I cannot advocate enough for is your local public library. To be honest if it wasn't for being able to access the library online, I don't think that I would have read as many books as I have had over the course of the last two years.

Do you read e-books or an actual physical book? I have found myself gravitating toward eBooks more and more. Being able to check them out online and then being able to return them with a click or two, as opposed to needing to return them to the actual library.
