Be careful what you ask for... (R.) if you jump before you look..Wasilla librarian Mary Ellen Emmons strongly objected to remarks by Palin that Emmons characterized as being about censorship. Emmons said that Palin asked two or three times in October 1996 if she would object to books being removed from the library..Emmons was subsequently told by Palin that she would be fired on January 1997,. Many Wasilla residents have claimed the reinstatement was due to a backlash from the local media.
