Wilson still most borrowed author

Jacqueline Wilson
Jacqueline Wilson has held onto the title of being the UK's most borrowed author for the third year running.

Wilson, who writes stories including The Story of Tracy Beaker and Lola Rose, notched up a massive two million library loans in 2004-2005.

The author, who is also the Children's Laureate, said she was "thrilled" to be number one for the third year in a row.

Other kids' writers in the top ten include Charlie and the Chocolate Factory writer Roald Dahl.

Mick Inkpen, who wrote Penguin Small and Wibbly Pig, was also among the most borrowed authors.
