I agree that seeking to have the government intervene is misguided.

Stage a boycott if they find it to be important.

The American Library Association and public libraries need to be challenged (as they are accountable to the taxpaying public).

The ALA (and therefore virtually all libraries) holds the position that there is no such concept as "age appropriate material". The ALA won't restrict what materials go into the library and won't restrict access to any materials.

So if a library has an archive of Playboy (for the interviews, including those with President Jimmy Carter, or cultural and sociological studies), the ALA holds that minors should be given access even though it would be criminal for a newsstand to offer that same access.

It is true that libraries are not supposed to restrict print material based on age. But internet access in a publicaly funded library is restricted by federal law.
