As a parent of two boys with voracious reading appetites, we are always looking for recommendations on new books to grab from our local library. To help us get going in the new year, The Kenton County Public Library recently sent us the top 10 books checked out for children and young adults in 2016. Check out the list below and let us know if there are others you’d add to this list.
