Book bans means you can no longer actually get that book. You can still buy the book if you wish to teach your child such. What being voted on here is stricter regulations on what is and isn't allowed in a publicly funded space and education system.
1[b]Complaints shall provide a reasonably detailed description of the material that is alleged to be harmful to minors.
Honestly this reaction you have is pretty over the top, however I'm sorta not surprised by it.

No, I'm talking about purely based upon fact. These books are not banned, if they were you wouldn't be able to buy them, so if you still want to buy them and teach it to your child you totally can.
Two: Parents and in turn tax payers have every right to provide objections to teaching practices and lessons that they find objectionable. Welcome to the public system, I think the issue people freaking out about pulling these books from libraries is that we are seeing a demonstration of what happens when you have people who are normally not involved in political or heated subjects now getting involved because it directly affects something they love and care about.
Three: Honestly, if you can't read it in a town board meeting, or a school board meeting, it likely shouldn't be in libraries targeting middle schoolers and kindergarten
