“Porn Star” Restored to Houston PL Shelves

-- Library Journal, 2/24/2005

Jenna Jameson’s How To Make Love Like a Porn Star has been returned to the shelves at the Houston Public Library, TX—at least in principle, since there’s a long reserve list. Last month, Houston Mayor Bill White, responding to complaints, ordered the book held behind a counter rather than on a bestseller shelf, bypassing the library’s review process. Now the mayor apparently has changed the explanation behind his action. The mayor’s spokesperson told the Houston Chronicle that the decision to remove the title was a temporary measure, with the final decision up to the review committee. That group recommended February 1 that the book be returned to the section in the central library that includes celebrity biographies.
