It’s more of a meta-banning. There were no actual books listed, just the idea of banning books was presented.

“Will you ban books for me?”
“No.”
“Will you ban books for me?”
“No.”
“Will you ban books for me?”
“No.”
“You’re fired.”
(Public outcry in support of the Librarian)
“Fine. You’re not fired.”

Yes, do your research, here is a post from Michelle Malkin’s blog, “Palin Derangement Syndrome strikes again. This time it’s hysterical librarians and their readers on the Internet disseminating a bogus list of books Gov. Sarah Palin supposedly banned in 1996. Looks like some of these library people failed reading comprehension. Take a look at the list below and you’ll find books Gov. Palin supposedly tried to ban…that hadn’t even been published yet. Example: The Harry Potter books, the first of which wasn’t published until 1998.

The smear merchants who continue to circulate the list also failed to do a simple Google search, which would have showed them that the bogus Sarah Palin Banned Book List is almost an exact copy-and-paste reproduction of a generic list of “Books Banned at One Time or Another in the United States” that has been floating around the Internet for years.

You can find the online list of Books Banned at one time or another here, http://www.lib.fit.edu/pubs/librarydisplays/bannedbooks/website.htm

Hmmm. I don’t think it’s a hoax. The Anchorage Daily News article is pretty straight forward, as is the Time Magazine article, just published.

Do your research. The whole thing turns out to be a hoax. Read the comments posted on the Anchorage Dauly News article. Read what other blogs are saying about this now.
