More or less.
Banning books from adults is obviously dumb, but restricting access to specific books from children is logical when it’s done at the individual parent’s discretion. Not all books are good, some are even potentially dangerous, and not all good books are adapted for all ages.
Properly curating which books your children are exposed to is just as important as a parent as curating which other pieces of media or even which individuals they are exposed to.
