Two popular gay-themed children's books, "Heather Has Two Mommies" and "Daddy's Roommate," were donated to the Wasilla Public Library in Alaska, where Sarah Palin was mayor, by gay and lesbian Americans concerned with attempted censorship.

The press release was posted on BentAlaska.com: Wasilla Library Gets Gay Children's Books.

I called the Wasilla Library when they opened today.

"We received the books," said KJ Martin-Albright, Library Administrator at the Wasilla Public Library, "and we sent a copy of our library donation policy and a receipt to Mr. Petrelis.

How Cool!  I should see if I can get my church to pony up the money to put them in the Palmer, Alaska library too.
In fact, I should probably look in the catalog to see if they are already there.
