Ah, yes, we narrow-minded Americans are at it again. Seriously, I don't believe in censorship and think that banning books just make them more appealing, especially for kids. That said, we are talking about public libraries funded by taxpayer dollars so it's understandable parents think they should have a say in what's made available.

If we really didn’t want his books in libraries, all we’d have to do is make kids watch “The Golden Compass”. That snoozer will turn kids off to his works in about 15 minutes.

Good grief... the books aren’t being “banned”, these are just examples of citizens who want to participate in the decision as to what books their tax dollars are providing to children in their community. BANNED would be the government making it illegal for anyone to purchase the book themselves, if they wish.
Just because Playboy is legal to own doesn’t mean you therefore have the right to demand that your neighbor buy it for you to borrow.
