Top Books in the GKHS Library, over the history of the school

We just completed the eleventh year that Graham-Kapowsin HS has been open. Out of curiosity on this last day of the schoolyear, I took a peek at the most popular books of all time in the library. Several of the titles were assigned by teachers but most were just popular books which students wanted to read.
