There was also one book that a ton of librarians voted for that got a librarian award and the author was mystified as to why his book was getting an award for young readers because the book was clearly for adults. It turns out that there were two books that had the same name and one of them was a kids book, and a bunch of librarians pulled the lever on the "show sex to kids" apparently based on buzz from the kids book.
