Most-borrowed library books of 2020

How many times one city borrowed each single book in 2020, counting the copies its catalogue files as book, ebook or audiobook.

Source Seattle Public Library (raw data, JSON), as of 31 December 2020 · checkouts (2020)

Checkouts by Title open data: 2020 checkouts of one book’s copies catalogued BOOK, EBOOK or AUDIOBOOK, added together; every book of a series counts separately, and an edition adapted for young readers or as a graphic novel counts with the book when the catalogue files it under that book’s title and author; a retelling with its own title counts on its own

Every round of Rank 100 drops a list like this one and asks each player for one entry on it. Get as close to #100 on the list as you can, without going over. #94 is Three Women — nobody at your table is saying Three Women.
