They did the exact same thing at my school. No actually banned books are ever shown because that would be controversial/hard. Books banned for import are never shown, works like Lolita are never shown, books banned for "inciting hate" are never shown.
It's always popular books that got "banned" by some backwoods library in dumbfrick nowhere 20 years ago.
I mean look at this shit
Banned by 1 place in the fricking 80s.
This one wasn't even banned, just criticized
But redditor suck them off for hashtag resisting by pushing the exact same books they push all year round.

This selection is clearly aimed at young kids but yeah, they always choose the dumbest examples. My library in college even had 50 Shades of Grey in their "banned book" display. No shit it's banned from school libraries. It's literal porn.
They could easily pick stuff like All Quiet on the Western Front but that wouldn't appeal to girls. It was banned in Germany for being "anti-german" and the author and his family had to flee the country. His sister was caught and executed over it. Poland also banned the book for being "pro-German" because they're r-slurred.
