 For those who haven't heard, this  non-fiction book, which was a best-seller and an Oprah book, has been  called into question. Apparently parts of it have been exaggerated,  even fictionalized.
  
  I'm curious what libraries do with such books. I remember long ago  there was a book by an alleged Native American about how he grew up. It  turns out to have all been made up. The publisher thought it was still  good and just moved it to fiction.
  
  But what do libraries do? If it's mostly true, do you leave it in  non-fiction. If it's found to be mostly made up do you move it to  fiction.
  
  Or?
