[LM_NET] Target: Symbol on back of a books

[Aubie <baubie@ROGERS.COM>]

I had a grade 8 teacher come to me looking for novels for her class.  She 
turned a book over that I had given her and said it didn't have the "S". 
Now I keep seeing it and wonder what it means.  There is often a triangle on 
the back of a paperback novel, usually near the ISBN.  Sometimes it has an 
"S" inside it, sometimes it doesn't.  She claimed the S meant it was mature 
enough for them.  I've seen the S on adult novels now, and sometimes not, so 
can someone please clue me in on the meaning?  Thank you so much.  I love 
this list.
