Protip: If you ever find yourself on the side of book banning, you're on the wrong side.
Censorship from the free speech crowd! These people need to mind what their own children read, and allow other parents to mind their own children.
A lack of good public education is how you raise future Fascists.
And workers for slave labor at their factories
Libraries are used by poor people more than anyone else. Of course the right hate them.
Yeah, why are they so against places they never go?
Jesus didn't say nothin' about libraries, so they're agin' 'em!
I work in a public library. While this is fucked up and crazy, I wouldn’t worry about it too much. Librarians do not fuck around and most libraries have very similar strict and thorough rules for how they take books under review books that are extremely difficult for people to fuck with.
For example, at my library if you want to have a book be reviewed to be possibly taken off the shelf, you have to have read it in its entirety. No exceptions. They will literally quiz you on it.

Then they just defund
All public library systems are not the same. Some rely on a single source of income like the one in your example but there are many that do not.
