Excerpt: Public libraries once played the role of gatekeeper, but the gate is gone. Libraries exist — and thank heavens they do — to serve the public. “Fifty Shades of Grey,” the first book in a paperback trilogy from Vintage Books, has sold more than 10 million copies, and individual local library systems across the country have reported thousands of requests for it. The public has spoken; libraries probably ought to listen.
