Libraries remove books if they become "problematic" all the time. As an example, even before all the current drama surrounding J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter books were constantly being pulled from library shelves when they were first published due to fears that they were anti-Christian and trying to teach children about witchcraft and Satanism.
