Tales From The "liberrycast"

There are many books that are problematic for libraries.  However, beyond the contractor's manuals, the three major tomes that created the most headaches for us were "The Da Vinci Code," "A Child Called It," and "The Five People You Meet in My Ass."  These were wildly popular books that were perpetually on hold for EVERYONE.  (We just cut out the middle man and automatically put patrons on hold with each new library card issued.  Saved time.)  Yep, these books blew the curve for all others because they were nearly impossible for patrons to read due to their high popularity, and, in one case, high incidence of theft.
