Palin Asked City Librarian About Censoring Books, Insisted It Was “Rhetorical.” In 1996,
according to the Frontiersman, Wasilla’s library director Mary Ellen “Emmons said Palin asked her
outright if she could live with censorship of library books.” Emmons said, “This is different than a normal
book-selection procedure or a book-challenge policy…She was asking me how I would deal with her
saying a book can’t be in the library.” Palin said in response, “Many issues were discussed, both
rhetorical and realistic in nature.” [Frontiersman, 12/18/96]

Palin Admitted Inhaling Marijuana. “Palin, who has admitted to inhaling as a young woman, said little.
But she repeatedly asked why, if the goal was growing hemp for clothing, did the group write the
initiative to make it legal to smoke marijuana to get high?” [Anchorage Daily News (Alaska), 10/26/00]
