HALSEY -- One way or another, a Halsey woman promises to keep a popular cartoon book off the shelves of the Central Linn High School library.

Taffey Anderson says "The Book of Bunny Suicides" is not appropriate, especially for children. She inspected the book her 13-year-old son checked out of the library, and vowed never to return it.

The 2003 book is a collection of cartoons showing a rabbit attempting to end his life in bizarre ways. Anderson's son told her he checked it out because his friends said it was funny.

"It is a comic book, but that's not funny. Not at all," Anderson told the Albany Democrat-Herald newspaper.

Anderson contacted Principal Julie Knoedler, who told her about the district's book-challenge policy.

Anderson plans to fill out the forms. Once the review is over, regardless of the outcome, she plans to burn it.

She says if the library replaces it, she will have someone else check it out and that she'll keep that one, too.
