[CALIBK12] Twilight

I am a LMT at a high school, and I have read all four books in the series and enjoyed them.  My copies are flying off my shelves.  When people talk about banning the books, I would remind them that these books are written by woman whose religion is Mormon. Has the Mormon church ban these writings?  Leave it to a CAPO to ban a book without a credential librarian to guide them on policy.
