I had a similar experience with Kurt Vonnegut books when I was a kid in the seventies. I needed Mom's permission to read Breakfast of Champions. I love to hear stories of librarians fighting against book banning. But the other side of the story is when they act as gatekeepers, and books they don't like never make it on the shelves to begin with. That doesn't tend to make the news, and banned book lists don't mention them since a book has to be selected to be banned.
