My experience with libraries in my career was the same, that they became woke and politically biased left. I found Librarians were almost universally democrats and usually far left ones from my somewhat limited experience (especially after 2000 or so).
Matter of fact thanks to them I own a fairly extensive library. Mostly military history but some classics as well like Defoe’s history, the Journal of The Plague Year (1722) or Russian Short Stories (1919) and many others. Over time they eliminated old books and classics (often in perfect shape) and replaced them with “modern” readings.
They would sit these great pieces of literature out on the discard racks and trash them in a few days, which is where I would pick them up. Often I noticed these liberal librarians would fill the slots with LGBTQ friendly themes and a bunch of fluff like the very popular Hunger Games, Or woke nonsense like “Heather Has Two Mommies” .
"Carla, On behalf of President Donald J. Trump, I am writing to inform you that your position as the Librarian of Congress is terminated effective immediately. Thank you for your service."
Short, sweet, to the point.

She deserved it.

“was the first woman and the first African American in the role.”
The definition of DEI.
I experienced the same thing from our small town library. I donated some great research books on history in perfect condition except for dust cover tears, which I felt people might want to read. One was a complete listing and history of every warship sunk in WW II.
Four days later, I am going into the Salvation Army store, 40 miles away, and out walks a man with MY TWO BOOKS he had just purchased there. I recognized them by every tear in the dust cover as what I had donated to my local library.
It appears our local library wanted “fluff” books not serious historical books. I proceeded to read my local librarian the RIOT ACT! and have never donated a book to them since.
I now donate books to a local library 40 miles away in another state. They are still there being used by the locals as I checked and was thanked by the librarians for them.
"Service" my ass.
She didn't get drafted and she was handsomely paid.
I'm surprised they never thought about it while he was running for president again.
