All the Rage in Jersey

Jersey City Free Public Library puts "The Jersey Sting" on shelf at every branch, and some have more than one copy. (The Jersey Journal, 4/1/2011)

Excerpt: The Jersey City Free Public Library now has multiple copies of "The Jersey Sting" on its shelves, giving its patrons access to the new book that details the story behind the massive 2009 corruption probe that ensnared numerous Hudson County politicians.

On Tuesday, The Jersey Journal reported that the book, written by Star-Ledger reporter Ted Sherman and former Ledger and current New York Post reporter Josh Margolin, was extremely hard to find in Hudson County, where there are no first-run bookstores and few public libraries had the book in stock.

But now Jersey City library patrons can find at least one copy in all of the system's 10 branches, with multiple copies in the larger facilities, according to Assistant Library Director Sonia Araujo.

Araujo said the library system now has 14 copies, and 24 additional copies have been ordered. Several copies will be housed in the main branch's New Jersey Room.
