Books to Remember May 01, 2008 - Books to Remember has been an annual tradition at The New York Public Library for more than 50 years. Each year, a small group of librarians comb through hundreds of book reviews and consider hundreds of new titles in the categories of fiction, nonfiction and poetry. Selection criteria include literary excellence, uniqueness of concept and command of subject matter. The goal: Choose 25 adult titles that offer informative or transformative reading experiences. In the spring, the Books to Remember committee formally presents its top 25 at an event held at the library.
