Hey, me too.

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.

She didn't try to actually get books removed. Instead, when the librarian said her collection development policy was based on professional criteria and that she would do all she could to fight any efforts to remove some books from the collection, Palin asked for her resignation (along with a bunch of other public employees whom she felt wasn't "on her side"). How conveeeenient. The librarian fought the request to resign, and the townspeople apparently made a fuss and didn't want her fired.
