I recall from reading that the articles that Pahlin asked the librarian if she would remove certain books from the shelves, but the books were not named.

Subject: [ARLIS-L] Books censored by Sarah Palin
ALA is probably not mentioning it because it's a non-profit 501(c)(3). Any discussion of political candidates on the ALA listserv and/or Website jeopardizes their non-profit status.
