Checked out more than 10,000 times in history, five books in the Harry Potter series are among the library's top 10 reads.

Harry Potter and The Order of the Phoenix–the fifth in the seven-book series–is the library's most-circulated book, checked out a total of 2,523 times to date. The first, fourth and sixth books in the J.K. Rowling series also make the library's top five, with only Captain Underpants and The Invasion of the Incredibly Naughty Cafeteria Ladies from Outer Space: The Third Epic Novel preventing a complete sweep of the top five by the popular boy wizard.
