I like this fight but I would rather see patriots constantly checking the bad books out and leaving all the good ones for the poor kids with bad parents to discover.
Bad idea. This gives bad books good reader and checkout demographics. These are factored into what the community is interested in, and the library should therefore divert funds to for future purchases.
Better to not only lodge a formal complaint, but get community involvement into picketing, and getting community action, like the OP mentioned.
Libraries are very much image and relevance oriented right now. Threaten either and you should get traction. Get people to seriously talk if libraries are needed anymore, and many will at least consider capitulation.
Get them in the sights of a community values issue, you've got real traction.
