2010 Librarians' Choice list is Now Available

The media is flooded with "best of" lists this time of year. Your local librarians want you to know what we think the best books and media of 2010 are here at the DPL. We have been collecting titles all year of our favorite books, DVDs, audiobooks, teen books, and children's books. The list has grown so big this year that we could not fit it in our usual handy bookmark format. If you are looking for our top choices in all formats, look for the full size handout of The Librarians' Choice 2010.
