MENOMONIE – The Menomonie Public Library recently posted their Top Checkouts from 2024 on their website.
In a statement from the library staff, “As we begin a new year (Hi, 2025!) it’s wonderful to reflect on all the fun we’ve had at the Library this past year. You checked out all kinds of books, puzzles, movies, puppets and more.
“For the curious among us, enjoy our top 10 checkout lists at MPL from 2024. Maybe you’ll find yourself a little somethin’ to check out in 2025. All of us at the Library look forward to another year of exploring our materials, connecting and building community together.”
In the adult non-fiction section, Justin Whitnel Earley’s 2019 title, The Common Rule earned the top spot. In the adult fiction category, author Frieda McFadden cleaned up with five of the top 10 selections by Menomonie readers, including the top book, The Teacher, published in 2024. McFadden claimed not only the top selection, but Nos. 2, 3, 5, and 7.
For those not yet attached to the streaming likes of Netflix, Hulu, Prime Video or Disney+, the library offers racks of DVDs, with the 2023 release of The Holdovers, a film featuring Paul Giamatti.
