What is a Genre?
Simply a fancy way of saying category or style. Genre allows us to group similar stories so they can be put into a category recognized by readers. Genre identifies the type of story, in broad terms, and does so through a one- or two-word description of what the story is about.
Use the Keyword Search terms in the SWIC Library Catalog to find books by genres.
