The publisher of racy bestseller Fifty Shades Of Grey has come out
fighting after a series of state libraries banned it because of its
raunchy content.
.
A rep for Random House told TMZ.com that it 'fervently opposes literary
censorship and supports the First Amendment rights of readers to make
their own reading choices.'
.
Last week it was revealed libraries in Wisconsin and Georgia are following
the lead set by Florida after 17 outposts deemed the book
'semi-pornographic'.
.
Fifty Shades of Grey, the first novel in an erotic fiction trilogy by new
British writer EL James, has now been removed from library shelves in four
Florida counties, one Georgia county outside of Atlanta, and Gwinnett
County, Georgia, as well as some libraries in Wisconsin.
.
The rep added: 'We believe the Brevard County Public Library System [in
Florida] is indulging in an act of censorship, and essentially is saying
to library patrons: we will judge what you can read.
.
'These events resonate as unfortunately considered decisions, especially
as the actions withdraw from circulation a book with one of the highest
demand curves in recent history.'
.
The library services director in Brevard County, Cathy Schweinsberg, had
told the Palm Beach Post the book 'doesn't meet our selection criteria'.
.
Despite this, libraries have been flooded with requests for the book,
according to county spokesman Don Walker speaking to the New York Daily
News.
.
'Nobody asked us to take it off the shelves, but we bought some copies
before we realised what it was. We looked at it, because it's been called
"mommy porn" and "soft porn." We don't collect porn,' Mrs Schweinsberg
said.
