> There are no book bans in the US.
When the government declares under penalty of law that libraries cannot stock certain books, that is a book ban.

Unlike your other examples, banks are private entities and can generally refuse to do business with whomever they like.
What books are libraries legally not allowed to stock now? Which law prevents them from stocking those books?
Utah HB 29 (codified as 53G-10-103) is a good example of such a law. See e.g. https://townlift.com/2026/10/utah-adds-seven-books-to-statew...
