Maine woman due in court for opposing book

LEWISTON, Maine, Oct. 31 (UPI) -- A Lewiston, Maine, woman has a court date later this year to answer for refusing on moral grounds to return a library book.

A court summons was ordered for JoAnn Karkos after she failed to return "It's Perfectly Normal: Changing Bodies, Growing Up, Sex and Sexual Health" to her local library. She claims the sex education book was pornographic, Maine's WMTW-TV, Auburn, said Wednesday.

Karkos has admitted keeping the Lewiston Public Library book beyond its due date.

The American Library Association named "Changing Bodies" the most frequently challenged book in 2005. The book features nudity as well as discussion of abortion and homosexuality.

Karkos has checked out the book from the public library in Auburn, Maine, too.
