Hereā€™s an idea: Put all the books back, ignore any warnings, dare them loudly to arrest you, go to jail if need be. Be an inspiration so someone writes a book about you. Hopefully itā€™ll be good enough some yokel threatens to ban it someday.

This. Get arrested for letting a kid read Huck Finn.

Hell, when I was still teaching high school English, when I had a kid say he/she couldnā€™t read Shakespeare because of religious reasons (total bullshit), I assigned them The Handmaidā€™s Tale as an alternate text. Yes, I fucked with their heads a littleā€¦but every single one of them came to me after and said thank you, but donā€™t let my mom know you made me read this.
