[CALIBK12] Catcher in the Rye

[Kate MacMillan]

I am a Napa City County Public Library Commisioner.  This past yeart we  just finished re-visitng our policies and statements.  Like George, I can assure you that this sort of practice does not exist.  
If this parent is that concerned, please encourage her to speak to her public library director.

Conspiracy theories like this are harmful. Why would the government want to put every educated person in the country on a "list?" Catcher in the Rye is read in many high schools and colleges in various courses.
 
The only thing Snopes says about it is that it is on a list that often circulates - this is the list that some folks said that Sarah Palin was ready to ban from Wasilla library (also not true.) see http://www.snopes.com/politics/palin/bannedbooks.asp

One of the parents sent this question to me.  I haven't heard anything about it.


Do you know it to be true that if you check out "Catcher In The Rye" from a Public Library you get put on a list by the "Government"? 

I don't know anything about this.  I'd appreciate any information you may have.

Thank you,

Elaine
