The library does buy some popular fiction books, usually those deemed "essential" by GOBI, has won a prestigious prize, or is highly praised by the Times Literary Supplement or the NYT. Because we are an academic library, the books are shelved according to the Library of Congress classifcation scheme, meaning there is no one section for popular fiction books. If there are titles you are looking for, try searching the catalog (https://lsu.ent.sirsi.net/client/en_US/lsu/?rm=MORE+SEARCH+OP0%7C%7C%7C…) or speak with a librarian (https://www.lib.lsu.edu/staff?field_staff_type=2&amp;search_api_staff=&amp;fiel…) .

Our PrepSTEP (https://libezp.lib.lsu.edu/login?url=http://www.learningexpresslibrary3…) (formerly known as Learning Express Library) database is probably our best resource for this, though you may want to check with the agencies to ensure the materials are up to date. These materials are generally under the career preparation section on the PrepSTEP homepage. East Baton Rouge Public Library (https://www.ebrpl.com/) also has Learning Express 3.0 that has state test prep material if you have a current EBRPL card. Answered by: Electronic Resources
