Guardian Unlimited: Granny Spice becomes queen of the libraries
Jacqueline Wilson has been announced as the number one author being borrowed from libraries in Britain. Wilson is the author of many books for preteen girls that are popular in the US as well. She knocked Catherine Cookson out of the number one position that Cookson had held for 17 years.
“Yesterday’s victory surprised and delighted her. “Every author is thrilled to know their books are selling, but I share with many authors an almost greater thrill when your books are borrowed from libraries”. ”
Other authors high on the borrowing list are mentioned towards the end of the article. The winning combination seems to be being both prolific and popular.
