I posit that the reverse wouldn't exist meaningfully.
These become curated lists for liberal values because the umbrella of liberalism is, by definition, morally permissive compared to its labelled counterpart.
In the context of these lists, truly banned books are those that a supermajority implicitly decides to "ban" by... not buying them for the library to begin with.
