Congratulations to Lessons In Chemistry by Bonnie Jarmus, winner of our inaugural Book Madness Tournament at the Key West Library!
And our thanks to all who participated, casting your votes to help select the winner from the top 16 most-borrowed books from the Monroe County Public Library in 2024.
This novel tells the story of a boundary-breaking chemist in the early 1960s, who winds up hosting a popular cooking show - that provides lessons in more than cooking, or chemistry.
You can borrow Lessons in Chemistry in regular or large print, as an eBook or eAudiobook. We also have the book in Spanish (Lecciones de quaimica) and as a Book Club In A Bag (where you borrow 10 copies of the book at a time for a six-week loan).
Week 4: The Finals are here
The big showdown is on - and no surprises this week, it's two of the top books from last year that told women's stories and really resonated with readers:
