All Junior, Teen, Learning Support and Classic fiction books are labelled with a genre sticker to help pupils pick a book that matches their interests.

There are fourteen genres available: Adventure, Animal Story, Comedy, Crime/Mystery, Family/School, Fantasy, Graphic Novels and Manga, Horror, Multi-Cultural/Scottish, Poetry, Romance, Science Fiction, Sport and War/History.

The Junior Fiction books are also labelled with a colour (red, blue, green, and orange) which helps pupils to pick a book at the right reading level for them.

Red = Confident reader

Blue = Capable reader

Green = Average reader

Orange = Unsure reader
