Should PUBLIC libraries have the right to BAN books?

The publisher behind the steamy New York Times bestseller "50 Shades of Grey"
is coming out swinging against libraries that have banned the book --
claiming the censorship violates readers' First Amendment rights.

A
rep for Random House tells TMZ, the publishing house "fervently opposes
literary censorship and supports the First Amendment rights of readers
to make their own reading choices."

The book, in case you don't
know, is about a man and his sex slave in Seattle -- hooray! -- and
libraries in Georgia, Wisconsin, and Florida have already banned it due
to its racy content.

But sexually deviant or not, the book is
still a book -- at least according to the rep at Random House, who says,
"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."

The rep adds, "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."
