ABOUT THE LIBRARY/CENSORSHIP ISSUE. . . .

Below is a link to a segment from Good Morning, America on 9/10/08, which covers the attempted library censorship and attempted firing of the librarian.   It is accurate to the best of my knowledge, however I can’t confirm or deny that the named books were the target(s).

Did the Mayor ask the Librarian about removing books from the Wasilla Public Library?
Yes. I was a witness to one of the occasions on which Mayor Palin asked the Librarian about removing books from the collection. My recollection was that Mayor Palin stated that there were books in the library that shouldn’t be there, and she asked the Librarian what the procedure was for removing books from the collection.

Stories in the Anchorage Daily News & Frontiersman newspapers report that Mayor Palin asked such a question.  Snopes reports that the McCain campaign also acknowledges that she did this.

Was there a list of books?
Not as far as I know.  I’ve always said I didn’t know of any, Gov Palin says there was no list, and the list in circulation looks bogus because some of the books on it weren’t even published at that time.
