A battle appears to be brewing in Texas over the proposed Presidential library at SMU:
DALLAS - Negotiations to build George W. Bush's presidential library at Southern Methodist University have divided the campus, pitting the administration and some alumni against liberal-leaning faculty members who say the project would be an embarrassment to the school. Some professors have complained that the combined library, museum and think tank would celebrate a presidency that unnecessarily took the country into a war.
Comments
They should build this library and fill it with books on stem cell research.

I imagine the shelves will be pretty sparse..
I suppose any engineering/mathematics books will be acceptable, but there's a lot of subjects that may not be allowed:
-Any cosmology/astronomy/geology book stating the Earth/Universe are really old, assuming GWB takes a YEC stance.
-Obviously evolution's out.
-History/Anthropology books with similar age timelines.
-Any non-Christian religious philosophy, theology, and ethics books could be replaced by the Bible.
-Bye bye any mention of global warming.
-Fiction books containing magic (like Harry Potter) would be gone, as would any books containing homosexuality, homosexual references or innuendo, or written by homosexuals (a law about this tried to be passed in Alabama not too long ago).
-No childrens books about goats either; they bring back shameful memories.
