1:12:05 Newsday.com, Long Island librarians say the Series of Unfortunate Events, which chronicle the misadventures of three fictitious Baudelaire orphans, are flying off the shelves - especially since the success of the movie based on the first three of 11 books that make up Snicket's "A Series of Unfortunate Events."
Yesterday nearly all hardcover editions of the first five books in Nassau's 54 libraries were checked out, said Crystal Faris, youth services manager of the Nassau Library System. Others lie tauntingly on a hold shelf, earmarked for other, more fortunate readers.
Some parents on Long Island said they worked hard to feed their children's addiction to the dark prose of author Lemony Snicket, aka Daniel Handler of San Francisco.
Debby Russo of Babylon double-dipped between two libraries to ensure that her 10-year-old son Zachary - whose devotion to the series had him forsaking the swimming pool this summer so he could attend a Snicket book group at the West Babylon Library - not run dry, then hurried to buy the 11th book, "The Grim Grotto," which she thought might be scarce at the library.
Trouble may lurk around the corner for even the happiest of Snicket-heads. Fifth-grader Samantha Sherman of Levittown, who checked out the third book from her local library after putting it on reserve, said she is midway through it and "can't wait to see what happens next." She may have to wait a while - Faris said Nassau has 21 holds on copies of the fourth book, "The Miserable Mill."

"That's what's kind of cool about this film. It has the moral, I guess, of kids being able to stick together and overcome all this, but you know that more bad stuff is going to happen." Browning added that she didn't mind that the story had a moral, because the filmmakers told it from a kid's perspective. "Even though these kids are going to suffer pretty much their whole lives, they're going to be OK," she said. "You know that through all this terrible stuff happening they're going to be OK, because they're really tough. But I think it's great, because it shows kids and they have no adult allies. The adults are either horrible to them, or they're just not listening to them. These kids are completely alone, and I think it's good for kids to see other kids being able to deal with things by themselves."
