Easy Reader Non-Fic. Science fiction readers are fascinated by accounts of futuristic developments and the many possible variations of society. Fantasy is a mixture of romance, historical fiction, magic, and fairy tales set in another world or time. The science fiction collection has a select, but devoted, audience with adult and younger readers.
Fantasy also appeals to romance and historical fiction fans.
Short stories in this genre are more popular with readers than in other areas of literature. In addition to the standard selection tools, reviewing sources such as Ingram Paperback Advance, newspaper book sections, etc., are consulted regularly. Weeding of books in poor condition and ephemeral titles must be done yearly to maintain space for new titles. The collection will remain fairly stable in size due to space limitations and to the current small readership. Increased interest and demand would necessitate reassessment of this collection.
