What are pre-teens reading?

What is Urban Fiction? Urban Fiction is a popular yet controversial genre especially among young African-American and Hispanic patrons. The genre features characters living in large urban cities that are usually involved in drug dealing, gang violence, and/or prostitution.

Make sure your school has a written selection and reconsideration policy that addresses written challenges to books. If you don’t, you’re totally vulnerable.

Librarians should make purchasing decisions based on their knowledge of the following:  Students  Communities  Collection needs  Other criteria set forth in the CPS Collection Development Policy for School Librarians

Click on: ‘Urban Fiction’

Why Should Library Collections Contain Some Urban Fiction Titles? Timeless themes such as peer pressure, violence, pregnancy, divorce, drugs and sex appear in the stories. Students should be exposed to a variety of genres. Many students can relate to the stories. Attractive reads for reluctant readers.
