On the other hand, libraries don't stock every publication that is printed, either, and that's censorship too, if you want to make that argument.

I certainly don't think it's "censorship" to choose not to carry something, and this ruling is about choice. I'd far prefer seeing the local librarian make those choices than the Fed.

I think the difference is the fact that this was a law, as opposed to self-initiated library policy. If a library chose to do this on its own, the grounds for challenging the policy would be far weaker.
