They were asking them to move the books to the adult section, not to remove them from the library.

I'm not entirely sure how I feel about age requirements for books. I also don't know how to draw the line between what qualifies for each section. But I also don't see how it matters much which section things are in because a parent can always check the book out for the kid if the kid can't and the parent thinks it's appropriate.
