Electronic Versions of Paper Booklists
Below are some pdf versions of printed adult booklists found at Alexandria Library. Since these are pdfs of paper booklists, they were designed to be printed and, in some cases, to be folded or cut. Some may be best printed on legal size paper or cut in half as two copies of the same booklists were printed on one sheet. Please feel free to print out these booklists and to check title availability using our online catalog.
If you have any questions about booklists, please contact an information/reference desks at one of the Libraries or call Mark Schwartz at 703.746-1770.
