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?

Shouldn’t be too difficult actually, have an ID system which most if not all schools have anyway. Scan the book scan the ID. If the book is restricted based on whatever criteria the system doesn’t let the book get checked out.
As to books checked out by students who’s parents don’t restrict them influencing or informing students who are restricted that happens anyway in this big ol’ world of ours.
