 These commercial books come in with the subject of “unrated”. Many patrons are aware of this and specifically select “unrated” as one of their exclusions so they do not get these books. That leaves thousands of books in the system that might be of interest, as they might think Some strong language is okay.
-Read & rate the books, filling out an Excel sheet and email it to Maureen.Dorosinski@dbs.fldoe.org. Every month it gets updated and distributed so all the states can enter ratings in their catalog systems. We do include some extra information, if a book refers to rape, incest, or other horrors. Others have detailed levels for sex, some don’t. Some just use a “H” for high, “S” for some, and “N” for none.
