The campaign saw readers choosing from 20 titles in Norfolk's Most Wanted, the most popular books borrowed from Norfolk County Council's libraries across the county.

Following the success of the campaign, library users are now being encouraged to read on. An additional reading list has been put together, with writing styles similar to those in the Great Big Read. So if there is a book that library users particularly enjoyed, librarians can recommend similar titles that they might enjoy.
