What's wrong with that? The library gets money and the book goes to someone that wants it. Win-win.
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.
Do you also hope that libraries remove books you don't like?

Those authors must really hate public libraries then...
There's a reason public libraries are under attack, and it's this.
Libraries are not allowed to do what IA did!
