There's a difference between censorship and curation. A school library is a curation of content designed to aid the curriculum. A public library is intended to have an uncensored set of books.

Restrict from the public library, or simply not include in their children's base curriculum at school?

Hate to break it to you, but the modern (but pre-2010 at any rate) viewpoint taught in Canadian schools is that it only sort-of was. Slavery was the South's reason to leave, but the North would have fought the war over any attempt to leave - and Lincoln said he'd abandon his quest to stop slavery if it was required to keep the union intact.
