Top 10 in Non-Fiction for 2105-2016

Yesterday we saw the top 10 fiction books for this school year. Here are the top 10 in non-fiction. These are the non-fiction books that were checked out the most.


   


#10, #9, #8, #7 - Garfield books. With about a dozen new Garfield comics this year, the fat cat of comics continues to be popular among students.


#6 - We added quite a few Minecraft manuals this year, and they have been continuously checked out. Will be adding more copies next year to keep up with demand!


#5 - Also new this year were many crafts books to refresh our crafts collection and to compliment the crafts we offered at recess times. 


#4 - So glad to see that the crafts books we purchased this year were in such demand. More crafts books for next year?


#3 - We had lots of interest in these "girls only" books this year. Girls rule!


#2 - The Guinness World Records books are always popular. We keep one copy of the newest book as a reference and circulate another copy. 



#1 - Girl power! Our fourth graders, boys and girls, were fascinated with this title. Will have to get at least one more title as it disappears from the circulation cart as soon as it is checked in!

Which non fiction books were your favorites this year? Let us know in the comments.
