>It is one thing for libraries and bookstores to decide not to offer for borrowing or sale things that they disagree with.

If the library is publicly funded, then I don't really think this is OK. They might decide to not purchase additional copies of some books they disagree with, but I certainly don't want them to limit lending of what they have.

If the library takes no public money then they can obviously do whatever they want.

This private / publix split is idiotic and gets you nowhere. Either you are censored or you are not.
