Sure. Just rename it to "Library of widely available and even mandatory for children to read books that we pretend are banned to preserve our image as underdogs, and excluding books that we've used our cultural dominance to ensure are actually hard to get."

It's a mouthful, but at least you'll be honest for once.

"For once"?

That's a significant impugnment of the honesty of a person you know nothing about.

"Banned books" is the colloquial term for these books, even if it's not as accurate as you'd personally prefer.

Next thing you'll be complaining you bit into an Apple and got computer instead of fruit.
