WHAT?! Twilight banned from library! :-0

Postby e.c_obsession_syndrome on Sat May 24, 2008 3:22 am

:o Okay.. So me & my friends read twilight end of last year.. and like all the rest of you guys.. fell in love with it, and it wasnt soon before long that we were edward cullen obsessing.... After having finished reading Eclipse for the 7th time a couple of weeks ago.. I thought "HEY maybe I should read Twilight again.." So I asked my friend to borrow it and she said sorry I don't have it, I went to the school library and *gasp,schock,horror* They didn't have it .. So I walked straight up to the librarian and asked to request it ... this was her reply

"TWILIGHT?!?!" (basically screaming)
"You are the tenth person today asking for this god-damned book... I WILL NOT HAVE IT in my library...no I will not, this is a catholic school and I will not tolerate a story on vampires and romance and nonsense, I will never ever get that book for this library..no siree.. it is BANNED by the principal"

Is this the most ridicolous thing you have ever heard?!?!
Do you think that this is fair?! :(
Or do you think that it is understandable..considering it's a catholic school?

Personally I think that it is ridicolous!! Me and my friend were soo angry that we wrote twilight-stephenie meyer 100 times on a blank sheet of paper,cut them out and put them in the request box......

Oh my gosh!! That's so stupid. Even if it's a catholic school i don't believe it should be banned. People should have a choice of what they read. I hate when books are banned. And as if romance isn't a 'real world' type thing. They can't ban it over that. Gosh.

Ok, i'm good. Maybe try a public library. They'd be sure to have it.

It's ridiculous, but the same happens sometimes to the Harry Potter books. There are some crazy people who think that books about fantasy creatures like witches, vampires or werewolfes are evil. Those people should read the books BEFORE they judge them. :evil:

the difference being that Twilight plays up A LOT of religion. >:[ Harry Potter books don't do that quite as much, but HP does celebrate Christmas and other typical faith-related holidays.

But its a HUGE deal in the Twilight books, proving that vampires aren't doomed to eternal damnation. ><

If I were a Catholic librarian I'd want those books in my library.

Exactly ..If they don't want to read it then they don't have to.. It's not complusory!! Im so0o0o0o angry :( So many people want to read it but can't because of the school library!!

It's even more stupid cause the library has copies of Dracula and other vampire stories so I don't know why she just doesn't want Twilight :(

I think Twilight teaches a lot of lessons in my opinion it really shouldn't be banned from school libraries.

OMG same thing happened at my old school (which was a catholic school also) except with the Harry potter books!! our librarian told us that our priest wouldn't allow them, because they involved witchcraft! I think that rule is dumb, either way people at your school are going to read twilight and the kids at my school still read harry potter anyways! I don't think it says anything bad in the bible against vampires!! especially made-up fictional vampires!! lol...I hope you persuade your school to put Twilight in your library! hahah when they go to read the request's there gonna be like wth? why does everyone love twilight!!! hahah
