Certainly they are, but I'd love it if such designations were there, I don't see why just that much, like they do on talking books would hurt anything.
That is just simply stating what there is in the book no more, no less. I agree with Lynn too, on this also. Gwen----- Original Message ----- From: "Lynn I" <lynnskyi@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Hi!One way to note a book's content is to use language such as "contains strong language" or "contains violence". I've done that when writing a synopsis forbooks that consistently use the "f" word, for example. NLS will designate a book in a similar fashion. Personally, I find thathelpful. Because a book contains some profanity won't make it adult--but if the person submitting or proofreading it includes a comment as to "containssome strong language" the reader can more easily choose whether or not to read the book. *smile* I also realize that some determinations are purely subjective.
