Do you have some evidence that the librarians were doing this "controlling"? Bothsidesing doesn't work terribly well when one side wants to use governmental controls to ban books and the other ... doesn't.

ETA: and defunding libraries is not only about book access. Libraries are often a refuge and information/resource hub for many many people in various sorts of straits and situations - everything from homelessness and family violence to seniors learning how to use tech to connect with the world.
