One family has no objections to their child reading a book featuring a non-traditional family while another family thinks their child reading such a book is the gateway to the apocalypse. Keeping the 'questionable' books behind the counter and check ID before allowing children to view them? I don't know about your school system in Norway but around here, the average school librarian does not have the time to spend.

Or were you thinking of simply denying access to the entire library? Toss the baby out with the bathwater method of managing the library collections?
On reflection, my first proposal was too restrictive. I'm now modifying it.

Parents who don't want their kids to have access to certain books can go to the school library and make a list of those books. The library staff will eventually input those books into the computer for that child's account. Then if that child attempts to check out one of those books, the computer alerts the staff and the child is denied.

BTW, I'm from Seattle, not Norway.
