Sorry if this is old news...

The City of Wasilla has been inundated with requests from media re:which books have been removed from their shelves per order of Sarah Palin.

They have issued a general response, presumably so they can get back to the taxing (pun intended) job of running a library.

This list, I promise you, will NOT show up above the fold in either the Times or the Post.

It is my understanding that NO books were ever banned from Wasilla library. This should not even be an issue.

Ohh... someone has to ask Obamarama about the “Heather Has Two Mommies” book (from this list), and ask if he has read or explained it to his daughters yet.

Shock - I have never read one of these. Nor do I know anyone who has. And honest, I just do not care.

That is my understanding as well. No actual books were ever mentioned for banning, just a general discussion of it in regards to policies.

I wonder how much time and effort the rats expended to turn up this information? What a laugh.

According to librarian Mary Emmons, she and Palin discussed the question of library censorship in October 1996.[28] Palin also spoke publicly about the issue, saying that her comments were “in regards to library policy” and that she had no particular books or other material in mind for removal.[28] No books were removed from the library.[29][30][31]

The Left caught lying again. Truth has no meaning to these people. Neither does decency.

Please note:

There was ONE complaint that was acted on. “Angel Dust Blues” was in the General Reading Section.

It was moved to the newly created “Young Adult” section!
