There was a coffee table fluff book by the "singer" Madonna. MPL ordered only ONE copy, which copy was kept behind the desk and patrons had to ask to use it.
>WizardMarks, Central MN: The book was kept where it was so it wouldn't get stolen or vandalized. Happens all the time with many books in the collection. It's done to insure that the information remains available to all for many years to come. No one is restricted from looking at it. All you have to do is ask. Some people may not have been comfortable uttering the name of the book, but they could write it on a call slip. C'mon Wizard, it's being done for the children :) As for the ads, I find it a bit ironic that the people who scream loudest about free speech and peoples "rights" are sometimes the most intolerant of the idea of other OTHER people having rights or free speech.
