How did it backfire? Am I missing something?

Did you read? The Library ended up with $30,000for more LGBTQ materials as well of boxes and boxes of the books they tried to keep from other patrons.

The community donated large amounts of money to the library in response, the display was replenished with books bought with that money, and the originals were eventually returned
