Sault Ste. Marie Public Library has released its always-interesting list of most-borrowed books for the past year.

Among the top five adult non-fiction titles, the Scott Standard Postage Stamp Catalogue jumped into the #1 spot, up from #3 last year.

The Official Driver's Handbook slipped to #2 from the top position last year, and The Official Truck Handbook: For Truck Drivers also cracked the top five this year.

Among younger readers, attention seems to be shifting from Minecraft to comic books.

Last year, the entire juvenile non-fiction list consisted of Lego and Minecraft titles.

This year, Minecraft didn't make the top five, replaced by Spider Man, Marvel Comics and Transformers character encyclopedias.
