Only two books are explicitly listed by the article, neither of which have been banned anywhere.

Unsubsidized is the more accurate word here. Some governments have chosen not to pay public money to stock these books in libraries, but no government has created criminal penalties for ownership.

It may be the case that her library includes some books that genuinely carry criminal penalties, but the article does not provide enough info to assess that.
