I'm a degree carrying librarian (though I probably will never again work in the profession). Therefore if I make a pronouncement on that issue I will automatically win. Yay.
But I'm not participating. But I will.
Public librarians deal with this kind of thing all of the time, queries from the public (and even government) about removing books. So far I have seen no evidence that Palin made any significant attempt to get books removed from the library beyond asking about how it would be handled.
I have no idea if the "librarian" in question is actually a librarian or just someone hire to run the library (not necessarily the same thing, especially in small towns) so I don't know how "political" of a position it might be in that situation. But that is moot until such time as I see evidence that Palin made an actual attempt to get books removed.
Besides, when it comes to small town libraries (and even large town libraries) there is a much simpler way to get a book removed from the collection. Check it out, "lose it," pay the fines for "losing" it. Odds are good that it will be years before the volume is replaced in kind.
