READ THIS ONE FOR YOURSELF. MS. CASCONE WROTE A TONGUE IN CHEEK MEMOIR OF WHAT IT WAS LIKE GROWING UP AS A YOUNG CATHOLIC GIRL IN A CATHOLIC SCHOOL. IN THE BOOK SHE RECALLED VERY FUNNY AND FAMILIAR EVENTS. MS CASCONE WAS INVITED BY THE LIBRARY BOARD TO BE A GUEST SPEAKER AT ONE OF THEIR MEETINGS. UNFORTUNATELY, SOME CITIZENS TOOK THE BOOK AS A SLUR ON THE CATHOLIC FAITH AND THE LIBRARY DIRECTOR RECEIVED MANY DEMANDS THAT THE BOOK BE REMOVED AND THAT THE SPEAKING ENGAGEMENT BE CANCELLED. THE BOARD AT THE TIME QUICKLY ACQUIESCED.
