Gov. Palin and the librarian
An article in Thursday’s national news section incorrectly represented the circumstances surrounding the departure of the Wasilla, Alaska, town librarian when Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin was Wasilla’s mayor. Palin twice asked for and received letters of resignation from the librarian. Both times, she rehired the librarian, who later resigned on her own. Link
In a story Sept. 12, The Associated Press reported that Wasilla resident Anne Kilkenny described GOP vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin’s inquiry into removing books from the collection of her hometown library as “out-and-out censorship.” The citation should have included the word “attempt.” Kilkenny’s e-mail during Palin’s first term as mayor described the actions as an “attempt at out-and-out censorship.”
