BARNSLEY author Milly Johnson’s book Afternoon Tea at the Sunflower Cafe is among the most popular borrowed from libraries.
It is in 12th place on the UK list by Public Lending Right, while five of her books feature in the top 36 of borrowed books for Yorkshire and the Humber, and three are on the top ten for Barnsley.
Milly said: “My book came 12th in the whole country, I thought ‘is this a joke?’
“It’s nearly 200,000 lends of my books. If you multiply that by however many authors there are, that’s an awful lot of people going into libraries, which is thrilling.”
We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
