Subject: RE: BS: If it was up to you...
What do yiz think of public libraries which stock literally a dozen of a 'hot' nonfiction book. Ours are filling up with them. 12 of the Grisham, 6 of the (shudder) Sandra Brown, 6 of the Jude Devereaux, etc. ad nauseum. Doesn't a librarian have some duty to spend limited funds on more enduring, informative, or uplifting stuff? I can see having a copy or two of the best-sellers, but really, if somebody's GOT to have the thing the week it comes out,hey--it's a best seller, they can jolly well find it in the bookstore!
