Given the First Amendment, the only thing that I can think of as banned is copyright violations.

The Pentagon Papers case says that, once revealed, classified information can be published.

How about dangerous information. Want to know how to make a fusion bomb? Start at https://www.atomicarchive.com/science/fusion/index.html. More detailed schematics are easy to find.

All that said, I am not a lawyer, and this is not legal advice.

Do most school libraries carry Hustler? Wow.
No.

But carrying it is unlikely to be against the law either.

But if they don't carry it, it can't have been removed from the libraries, and therefore couldn't qualify for this list. Weird insight into someone's mind that they would bring up Hustler in a discussion about school libraries.
