No dirty words in our books!

Today there's this bit of wonderment from behind the Zion Curtain: Library user cutting 'bad' words from popular book series By Lori Buttars- The Salt Lake
Davis County library officials are facing a mystery that only Jessica Fletcher could solve.
It seems a library patron has been busy crossing out the "hells" and "damns" in books based on the the popular ''Murder, She Wrote'' TV series and changing them to "hecks" and "darns."
Layton library workers are at a loss as to what to do about the self-appointed censor who is blotting out the purple prose with a purple pen.

The best part is the librarian's plan to halt the offender-
"Our best hope is that this individual has a moment of revelation and desists."
Yeah, right.
