[Libs-Or] Clever names for adult literacy and high interest/low vocabulary collections?

[Ellie Avis]

Hi Kirsten,
We sort of have this-We started out calling them "quick reads," and focused on shorter word count and "hi-lo" items. We've since added more graphic novels, media tie-ins and mass market paperbacks, so we've sort of dropped the "quick read" designation and are just calling them "read and return." It's an uncatalogued collection that we've labeled "read and return," meaning you don't need a library card to borrow them.

I'd like to start a collection of high interest/low vocabulary titles for adults who are learning to read. If your library has such a thing, what do you call it?
