They aren’t banning anything. You can still freely buy any of those books. They’re just changing what content public libraries spend money on. Not really much different from states deciding school curriculum.

And if you can’t afford to buy them, then what?

Public libraries exist to serve a public good and are not just quaint anachronistic equivalents of amazon.com
