Lista lektur obowiązkowych i uzupełniających dla szkół ciągle się zmienia. Do kategorii „Powieści i lektury” należą nie tylko najbardziej cenione utwory tworzące świadomość kulturową nowych pokoleń, uczące historii i tradycji, ale także pozycje nowe, odpowiadające potrzebom młodego czytelnika i przez to bardziej dla niego atrakcyjne. Oprócz książek wymaganych przez szkoły znaleźć tu można również bardzo szeroką ofertę powieści przeznaczonych dla dzieci, młodzieży czy też „młodych dorosłych” (Young Adult).
