Library books.
Could you please send me the following information:
1. The top 10 most borrowed books at your libraries in the calendar years 2023 and 2024.
I'm asking for one list for each year - in other words, the top 10 across all your libraries, not individual top 10s for each library.
If any of this information is already in the public domain, please can you direct me to it, including website links as appropriate

I can confirm that the information requested is held by Lincolnshire County Council. I have detailed below the information that is being released to you.
