New Year, New Genre
It’s officially 2024! This new year, many people will seize the opportunity to try new things, big and small.

Luckily, the Grayslake Library’s expert librarians have put together twelve lists of books based on popular genres, each with fifteen recommendations for adults and teens. These lists are available in brochures in the library building, but I’ve taken a sampling from each of them and listed them below. This is the perfect starting point for finding a great new read for the new year.
