Can anyone help me with this novel? It's been turned into a movie.

It's about a guy who works as a librarian and starts up a relationship with a socialite girl who he meets at a country club while she was swimming at the pool. They spend the summer together, but she goes off to college(an all female school in New England) and they start writing letters to each other. I think nothing ended up between them.

Here are random things I remember from the story:

-An african- american boy keeps going to the back of the library to look at an anthology of nude paintings and the librarian let's him keep it after he gets found out.

- The socialite girl plays tennis at one point. She has a disdain towards her mother

-The socialite girl has a brother who likes to relish on his college days by listening to an audio yearbook.

-Her family's house has a basement where there was a fridge filled with fruits..at one point, there was an emphasis on the cherries.

- In the movie, there was a scene where they were getting intimate and he ran out of the car to lift it to get the blood going somewhere else( a sexual innuendo).

I was looking at the Librarians in the Movies page (http://emp.byui.edu/raishm/films/agroup.html) and saw the title.

"It's about a guy who works as a librarian and starts up a relationship with a socialite girl who he meets at a country club while she was swimming at the pool." It has to be Goodbye Columbus!
