Do you mean novelas, the South American soap opera series? And how is this different from their having R-rated films in any language on the shelf?

Sorry, I may have put in an extra "L" by mistake. I am not sure if these are the same thing, but listening to the descriptions today by those who researched this, they said that these "books" are rife with sexual violence, including such things as a 20-page or so sequence in which a woman is slapped, beaten, raped, and finally stabbed to death. Also depicted were such things as cutting off nipples, general sadomasochism, etc.

This is grossly wrong on so many levels it makes the head spin. For one thing, our library system in Denver is supposedly in such a budgetary crisis that they must close branches on Wednesdays, yet they can afford the reported $5.00 per copy (and there were HUNDREDS of these at various branches) to purchase this worthless garbage, and in SPANISH, yet.
