A Florida county's library system has banned the erotic-fiction 50 Shades of Grey trilogy in light of its "perceived pornographic nature," a spokesman tells NBC Miami. Brevard County's 17 libraries had ordered 19 copies of the three EL James books, and there was a waiting list of readers. After reviews emerged, however, the library system's director decided to get rid of them as soon as checked-out copies had been returned—even though "we know it's a national phenomenon," the rep noted. There has been one complaint about the removal, the spokesman said.
