Cataloging Sarah Palin's Attempted Book Banning
McClatchy newspapers has a more thorough, and arguably fairer report on the flap:
WASILLA, Alaska -- Back in 1996, when she first became mayor, Sarah Palin asked the city librarian if she would be all right with censoring library books should she be asked to do so. But this is also an excellent moment to remind ourselves that Banned Books Week is coming right up. The annual event sponsored by the American Library Association and the Ameriican Booksellers Association for Freedom of Expression enourages the freedom to read, and highlights efforts like those of former Mayor Palin to censor books from America's public libraries. Such efforts are usually (but not exclusively) led by elements of the Religious Right.
During the last week of September every year, hundreds of libraries and bookstores around the country draw attention to the problem of censorship by mounting displays of challenged books and hosting a variety of events. The 2008 celebration of Banned Books Week will be held from September 27 through October 4.
