Acts of stupid censorship like this just make children cynical.

All libraries have limited budgets. All libraries make choices about which books they buy and which books they don't buy. If a library makes a decision to buy books A, B, C, and E -- but decides to pass on buying book D, this is not an act of censorship.

I blieve this book is aimed at children aged 4 to 8. Those kids are not going to see this as censorship, or be cynical about the politics of it -- unless adults with an agenda work very hard to "explain" the situation to the kids.
