Check the news clipping, circa 1995

This 1996 article was published by the local Wasilla newspaper when the conversations of library book censorship arose. No book titles mentioned. But decide for yourself if questions were asked in "the context of professionalism." Is it coincidence that an elected official supported by local churches would immediately be asking a librarian after election about censorship of material? And remember, this was before the Web changed everything and pushed libraries near the bottom of any cultural battleground for free speech.
