Of course it makes sense, the same way that pr0n is available on the Internet yet are deemed inappropriate and banned by the FCC for broadcast makes sense. Individuals actively seeking something out is fine, it’s called freedom, it’s called liberty. Content provider or content carrier actively broadcasting something out to the public (like reciting certain content aloud at a public venue) comes with consideration for whether those present at the public venue may or may not be offended by the broadcast.
A book on a library shelf requires someone to actively seek it out and pull it out of the shelf to read its content, not something that can be imposed onto an unwilling party like something being read aloud at a public venue.
On a more practical level, what’s the point of fighting about physical books in the libraries in the USA? How many American K-12 students actually read or check out books from the library, if not specifically assigned by teachers? How many students go to libraries to just browse? Most students would just do their research and reading on the Internet anyway.
Banning books is the behavior of theocrats, autocrats, and dictators; it should not be the behavior of liberty loving Americans.

It’s those sorts of posts that are chilling within the context of his “sarcasm” tags on other posts.
