I wonder if there could be a way to enforce the old equal-time and fairness doctrines that where applied to public broadcast licence holders onto public libraries as well. I'm not sure it would be a good idea since someone would inevitably try and force religious texts alongside scientific journals, but it at least would preclude banning things.
