EDIT: This was as mayor, not as governor. But still. . .

The list of books is from a blog, and unconfirmed by major news outlets

2ND EDIT: The source has rescinded the statement on the list. . . The list was actually a list of books that people most commonly want banned. But the fact that she tried to ban books from that library remains.
