What was our most popular book of 2015? Find it in our library catalogue! https://t.co/hmfeCmGKCj (UN only) pic.twitter.com/niGXUxHtGt— UN Library (@UNLibrary) December 31, 2015Dylan Matthews and Zack Beauchamp, VOX: The UN library announced its most-checked-out book of 2015. It's kind of disturbing.
The Dag Hammarskjöld Library at the United Nations — named after the secretary general who died in 1961 — doesn't make the news very often. Meant to be used by the professional Secretariat staff of the UN and by national delegations, it stores documents and publications from the UN and related organizations, as well as a raft of other books and materials on international relations, law, economics, and other UN-relevant topics. So, you know, a library.
But even the UN's library has a social media presence now, and recently it tweeted the 2015 publication that got checked out the most frequently:
WNU Editor: Being someone who use to work for the UN .... this does not surprise me. And I am willing to wager that the second most popular document/book will be on what products/goods/services have a diplomatic tax exemption.
