News / Most borrowed books
CRIME writer Ann Cleeves continues to dominate Shetland Library’s most borrowed books list.
While her two Shetland novels Blue Lightning and Red Bones topped the 2012 list, one of her Vera Stanhope books, Silence Voices, is at number three.
Library manager Karen Fraser said that “as always” local publications feature very strongly in the different lists.
“Soonds o’ Shetlan’ publication Lowrie went straight to the top of the adult talking books chart, despite only being launched a month before the end of 2012.
“This is because we were gifted 60 copies by Soonds o’ Shetlan’, so there are plenty of copies for everyone to get it quickly.
“We’ve seen a lot of significant new local publications in the Shetland lending list this year. Top spot goes to Martin Smith’s Hoswick Man, very closely followed by Bjarnhild Tulloch’s memoir of wartime Norway, Terror in the Arctic,” she said.
