|description_of_content=Blankets is an autobiographical graphic novel, which tells the story of the artist growing up in an Evangelical Christian family.<br />
|description_of_incident=The Marshall Public Library had placed Blankets, as well as Alison Bechdel's graphic novel Fun Home, on its shelves for their reading public. The board then received a complaint from Louise Mills, who argued that the content was inappropriate for children, and even called some of it "pornographic." [http://www.marshallnews.com/story/1171432.html] After several hearings, the library board voted to withdraw the books from the shelves until a new materials selection policy could be developed.<br />
|description_of_result=After several months, and a letter from the NCAC, the library board voted to restore the two books under a new selection policy.<br />
