The lists of books show locations in New Hanover Schools. These books have sexually inappropriate or confusing gender concepts or content including self harm, suicide, violence, and/or racism. No data base is available to determine whether or not classrooms may contain these books. Therefore, we encourage citizens to ask teachers and administrators if these books are present or being used for instruction of any kind. Some districts allow students to sign up to read ebooks using Sora or Libby, as well as other online ebook providers using their school ID. PEP does not know or have access to find out if any safeguards are in place to protect children from reading or seeing graphic material that is inappropriate for their age or grade level. Ask your school administrators if your child's school is providing access to ebooks.
YA (Young Adult): Books identified as YA are believed to be located in specific areas of the library or designated as requiring parental permission, based on the information available to us at the time of our search. These designations reflect our findings and may not represent current school or district policy.
Lost: A book marked “Lost” reflects the status displayed in the school’s catalog at the time of our search. This designation does not necessarily mean the book has been permanently removed from the collection.
Removed: A book marked “Removed” means it was identified in the school’s collection during a search conducted a year or more ago but was no longer found in the collection during a subsequent search. We cannot confirm when or why the book was removed or who made the decision. Removal may have been initiated by the principal, a school review committee, superintendent, or the local board of education.
We do our best to keep the 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.phs & more.
TItles that are red link to read aloud videos.
YA indicates a book has been identified as Young Adult and requires different search parameters within the online card catalog.We do not know if it is located in a special area or not.
