Guidelines for selecting books:
At O. Henry, we encourage students to select the books that interest them most. We serve students ranging from age 11 to 15, so our collection includes a range of appropriate materials for every age and taste. According to our district policy, parents are the ones in charge of approving or disapproving library book choices-- not the librarian. Students read more if they have access to the books they want to read, are able to self select, and are given time to read. (Stephen Krashen's The Power of Reading)
