I was one of those librarians protecting people's access to information and trying to have a variety of viewpoints in the collection. I got out just as the mission was starting to change.

Librarians like yo are awesome. People forget how bad the religious right was back in the '90's and how even Bill Clinton got on the censoring the internet boat. And I think everyone was better off with libraries that had a large range of veiwpoints. Reading books by people who shared my opinions and those whose opinions were the complete opposite made me a better thinker and the library was where I had access to those books.
Thanks to the pandemic, I retired early. I'm thankful I had a good career. I feel bad for those entering the profession now. The vocational awe is set to 11 in many libraries.
