Any reason not to just say OK, move the books, then put them back in a couple weeks once everyone moves to the next TikTok trend or Facebook outrage?

Don't do that. Their end-game isn't to move the books. It's to identify the books so that they can be banned in some direct way. Next they'll demand that the library keep track of how much money they spend on LGBTQ books and spend an equal amount of money on anti-LGBTQ hate books. They'll demand that kids get parental permission before they can look at those books. They'll challenge every single book and make the library staff spend a lot of time fighting the challenges. You can't give in to these people and hope they'll move on. They won't move on. You have to fight them.
