Rutherford County Schools

This list of books show locations in Rutherford County School Libraries.  These books have sexually inappropriate or confusing gender concepts or content. Some books may have violence or horror. No data base is available to determine whether classrooms may or may not contain these books. Therefore, we encourage citizens to inquire of teachers and administrators to verify they are not present or being used for instruction of any kind. Sora, Libby, Overdrive, and other ebook sources used in schools are also not reflected in this list. We do our best to keep all lists up to date. If you see a change that needs to be made, please contact us.

The Content Based Rating System was inspired by  the widely accepted MPA rating system. This rating system is meant to be a quick guide for busy parents who want to know what objectionable material is found between a book's covers. While it is a great tool, it does not meet the standards needed for schools to use for evaluating materials for student use.
