This University site has cataloged __**Math**__ related fiction books. You can browse by title or year or author; you can even hit the Search button in the tool bar and search by genre. We selected a lot of fiction titles to add to our collection relating to high school math so that the teachers could read aloud during SSR and recommend books to kids that had some relation to math but with teen characters.

Basic Library Book Selection List for a High School Most of the book jobbers---Bound to Stay Bound, Permabound, etc., will provide an “opening day” list of needed titles for your level of students. __Wilson’s Sr. High School Library Catalog__ is the basic textbook that reflects the standard reference and high school collection with abstracts for each title suggested. It can be purchased each year but is costly. __Bowker’s Best Books__ is also a selection tool that is a listing. High schools should get subscriptions to //VOYA// (a periodical that reviews teen/YA books); //School Library Journal// (which has excellent reviews but is costly per year); and maybe //Booklist//, and //Horn Book// for reviews on the more current fiction and nonfiction.
