no fun reading for you!

in: Library

I felt bad when I had a woman come in to the library and ask me where the mystery section was. We don’t really have a leisure reading section, although some academic libraries do. I could have easily helped her find some literary criticism on the development of the detective novel or the influence of Wilkie Collins, but I don’t think that’s what she wasn looking for. I gave her some call number ranges for fiction. We do have some classic mystery authors like Patricia Hightsmith or Raymond Chandler, but not much that has come out recently.
