Funny how different things are. Like I said before, we do not have librarians in our schools, we have "multi-media specialists" and our libraries are called "multi-media centers." They have no authority to decide what books are made available, as this is decided by the state's department of education.When adding books for the church library - I only put in christian books or christian themed books. I don't have fiction. I figure if people really want Christian fiction, they can go to the public library for that.
I'm not personally a big fan of christian fiction, but there are a few ones that have been good without being too 'preachy'. People would rather have good story with a happy ending than one that's overtly preachy.
Francine Rivers and Neta Jackson have written some christian novels I've enjoyed. Basically Christian fiction features Christian characters and often there will be scripture references, that only Christians will really 'get' so that might put off other readers who haven't read the Bible.
It can be nice to have that, as a believer, as an affirmation but if the author references it too much like every paragraph it might get a bit much!
Then there's the other kind of Christian fiction that reimagines the Bible and that can be hit and miss sometimes. I've read some awful Christian fiction that totally twists scripture. And not Ellen G White cult books but just novels that inserted modern day characters back into biblical times which was kind of weird. Everyone speaks KJV english even though its meant to be like in the Middle East or something lol

"CNN ā
Efforts are underway in Florida counties to comply with a law championed by Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis that requires the approval of books in classroom libraries.
Manatee County School District teachers are experiencing āfearā and āconfusionā as the district works to implement HB 1467, which requires that books be pre-approved materials or vetted by a media specialist trained by Floridaās Department of Education, according to Pat Barber, president of the Manatee Education Association, the countyās teachersā union.
A document provided by the district that lays out new statutory changes to HB 1467 indicates violations could be considered a third-degree felony."
