well i know that in the early 80s i tried to donate some Nancy Drews to the local library and they were rejected for not being appropriate. it was 83 to be exact as i was not working that summer so i remember it specifically. i thought that was downright unreasonable. so if that was any indication of the times, the 70s should be have stricter. thats just one persons thought, and i'm certainly not opposed to many opinions here. the books were obviously read and nobody said anything.
I think the '70's were far mroe liberal than the '80's, which is when the whole moral majority/reagan bullshit kicked off. I can't believe, though, that Nancy Drew was rejected! I read over 100 of them before I hit junior high...and then my sister nicked them and sold them. Bitch!

The Diary of Anne Frank was banned? For what, being too realistic? I remember doing a report on it in the 5th grade. Angela's Ashes, same thing. Sure there's a bit of naughty goings on but it's a fantastic and moving story. God, schools are so stupid. I'm glad my parents let me read whatever I wanted.
