At a public library, that’s ridiculous. A 10 year old isn’t driving to the library, his parent or legal guardian is taking him. It’s a bit different in a public school library.
My sister (who was like my second mom and spoke English, unlike my parents) would ask me about what I was reading. It helps to take a little interest in your kids too.
Eh, I was using the bus to get to my town’s local library when I was 9 years old. Granted that was a number of decades ago but the idea that a 10yo can’t navigate a bus or just be close enough to walk is a little silly. (Edit: Not to imply I think that’s a reason why we need to be overly concerned about what’s age appropriate beyond laws relating to actual porn, mind.)
At that age I could walk to the library. I grew up in a big city and didn’t require a parent-chauffeur. (A good thing to, since my mother can’t drive.)

Yeah it’s simple- who decides? The parent or guardian. If you don’t like a book for your child help them chose another

Do kids not have bicycles where you live? Feet?
I was a half dozen of miles away from My home at any given time….
