The Seasonal Reading Challenge discussion

We have tweaked the rules for Children's books starting this season.

--B) Books that also include the MPG Young Adult or MPG Adult may be used for SRC tasks without further restrictions (other than general SRC and specific task requirements)

If they do not include these tags, the same ARBookFind process is in effect.

This should answer some of your questions with the Gutenberg choice.

So, vaguely related to this, I have a question

I have Fairy Tales from the Brothers Grimm: A New English Version aka Grimm Tales for Young and Old by Philip Pullman on my TBR. This specific edition of Grimm's Fairy Tales isn't in either the UK or the US bookfinder.

However, this version of Grimm's Fairy Tales is, with an IL of UY/UG: https://www.arbookfind.co.uk/bookdeta...

So the question is, can the Pullman version be used for tasks other than 5.10, given there are other versions of the stories in ARBF?

Or does the fact that it has Adult under "more" on the main book page mean it can just be used anywhere?

So, by my understanding, I can use River Boy that just came in to my library via Inner Library Loan, in any task, despite it having Children's, Middle Grade genres because it also has Young Adult? It also doesn't meet the AR Bookfinder rules. It was going to be a non task related read, but if I can claim it...

Can we consider evaluating another site not ARBookfinder - since to be included on that site requires a quiz to be generated - so it’s potentially large amounts of books

Yes, because it has MPG Adult you can use it.

We are considering it, but this was our compromise while we do more research.

Thanks.

Thank you! It would be a great help for me too. ARBookfinder website doesn't work for me, even when trying different web browsers and I even switched to a new computer. I've been trying to find a way to fix it, but haven't been able to...
Maybe it has something to do with my location. (I'm in the Netherlands)
