In Salt Lake City, Carson City, Nev., and Jacksonville, Fla., copies of the Bible tend to walk out of public libraries and never return. Never mind that "Thou Shalt Not Steal" stuff.

In Fremont, it's exam-preparation books to become a police officer. "Gives one pause," a librarian in that East Bay city said.

In Benicia, books about "the occult, car repair and sexuality" disappear regularly, while in Oakland, it's anything about how to grow pot at home, pregnancy or sexually transmitted diseases.
