Once written by authors named Anonymous and hidden at the back of bookstores, erotic literature has gone mainstream. Today their authors can be found on the New York Times Best Seller list and at your local library. However, the popularity of erotica has some library staff scrambling. How do we do Readers Advisory? What if someone is offended? What if someone complains? Attendees will leave with a greater knowledge of popular authors, sub-genres and hopefully enough courage to admit they read erotica themselves!
