So back to the topic of the thread,
Time magazine is reporting that when she was mayor of Wasilla, she inquired at the library how she could go about banning books, and when the librarian resisted, she threatened to fire her.
Quote:
Stein [the former mayor] says that as mayor, Palin continued to inject religious beliefs into her policy at times. "She asked the library how she could go about banning books," he says, because some voters thought they had inappropriate language in them. "The librarian was aghast." That woman, Mary Ellen Baker, couldn't be reached for comment, but news reports from the time show that Palin had threatened to fire Baker for not giving "full support" to the mayor.
