Library sets hearing on banning book on home-invasion slaying

CHESHIRE -- The library board here where a mother and her two daughters were killed in 2007 has scheduled a hearing on requests to ban a book about the home invasion.

More than two dozen supporters of the ban showed up at the Cheshire Library Advisory Board's meeting last night, but the crowd was too big for the room and the board set a special meeting for Thursday at the Town Hall.

The library has ordered two copies of "In the Middle of the Night: The Shocking True Story of a Family Killed in Cold Blood" by Brian McDonald. It's based on an account by one of two men charged in the killings of Jennifer-Hawke Petit and her two daughters, ages 11 and 17.

Library Director Ramona Harten says she won't ban the book because of free speech protections.
