As we say "welcome in" to the new year, the Los Angeles Public Library would like to share our staff's favorite books of 2025; books that scored a 6-7 or higher!
These lists have it all! From silly read-alouds for your littles to Capital sagas for teens. Biographies and tell-alls, cults and controversy, fun with fiction—busybody readers, and crime scene cleaners, witchcraft and wild dark shores, brigands, tombs, and buried bones—something for everyone!
