Apart from everything else that's wrong with this proposal, the punishment is absurd. People make mistakes. It's hardly reasonable that librarians should risk a year in prison for misfiling a book. How many years in prison does this person advocate for people who get fooled by a false ID and accidentally sells alcohol to a minor?

Sending someone to prison for making a mistake at work is extremely harsh, unless we're talking gross negligence and extremely serious consequences. At least here in Norway, the typical punishment for violating this type of law would at most be a fine for the business or organization.

An obvious result of this kind of law would be that libraries would be reluctant to have any of the adults-only books in the shelves at all, since the potential result of making a mistake is so severe.
