What is fiction?
Answer
Fiction includes creative works that portray imagined individuals, events, places, or situations. Although fiction may be based on a true story, fiction does not have to adhere to fact or plausibility. Most fiction consists of written stories and can include works like novels, novellas, short stories, poetry, graphic novels, comics and plays. These works can be published as stand-alone items, as part of a series, or as part of an anthology.
You can find works of fiction using the search box on the library homepage.
