Throughout the second year of the pandemic, books
continued to provide entertainment and escape, enriching our inner lives as our
more public and social pursuits continued to be curtailed. As the Boston Globe has pointed out, “Whatever
else we say about 2021, it was a great year for books.” Here we present many
of the best-of-2021 lists. Consider these lists as a great discovery tool,
leading you to titles that may have flown beneath your radar, or ones that may
make a great holiday gift for someone. Some of these lists are behind a
paywall—you can use the Library’s subscriptions to get in. For more reading recommendations, visit
our Shelf Service page or call the library at
508-696-4211. You can also place holds through the online catalog.
