Do we know what kinds of books she wanted to "ban" (or in reality, just remove from the government-funded library?)

There's lots of books that your neighborhood government library wouldn't think to carry. That doesn't amount to a "ban". Somehow, these libararies have to decide which books to carry and which ones not to. You're probably not going to find a lot of good porn down there. The ones that don't make the cut, for whatever reason, aren't "banned".

The government is allowed to show preferences for viewpoints in some ways ("sin taxes", etc).

If it's a private libarary, we'll talking a whole different kettle of fish.

And I'm not in favor of "book banning", but if that's your primary concern, Palin will have much less oportunity to regulate government libaries as VP than she would in Alaska politics.
