Activist donates gay books to Wasilla library

by Rex Wockner

In response to ongoing questions about whether Sarah Palin tried to ban books when she was mayor of Wasilla, Alaska, activist Michael Petrelis from San Francisco has donated two gay-themed children's books to the Wasilla Public Library.
Petrelis sent the library "Heather Has Two Mommies" and "Daddy's Roommate."
Library Director KJ Martin-Albright told the local Frontiersman newspaper the books will go through a process, then either be placed on the shelves or sold by the Friends of the Library group.
The process looks at such things as the author's reputation, the importance of the subject matter to the library's collection, shelf space and other factors, the Frontiersman said.
