Spotlight on Cult Classics

A 'cult' book isn't actually a book about cults. Rather, it's a book that critics panned, but that gained its own following anyway. Or it's a book that critics loved, but readers ignored at the time. Many of these books are celebrated pieces of counter-culture.  Click to see the full selection of Cult Classics.. These eBooks and eAudionBooks may be downloaded in the Libby by OverDrive app or viewed online on our OverDrive page.
