Library indulge desire for hit novel. (Boston Globe, 6/7/2012)
Excerpt: They may not have read “Fifty Shades of Grey,” an erotic novel that has been breaking publishing records and creating controversy around the country. But area librarians are stocking the book — though not nearly as fast as patrons are requesting it.
The novel is the most-requested book in the Minuteman Library Network, where more than 1,800 people are on waiting lists at member institutions, and that doesn’t include those who are seeking audio or e-book versions. And it doesn’t include the two other books in the trilogy by British author E. L. James, “Fifty Shades Darker” and “Fifty Shades Freed.”
The books are not getting much shelf time. Every one of the copies held by the Minuteman network’s 37 public libraries is checked out.
