While librarians do usually determine what is age appropriate, parents can over ride that. When I was 5yo my Dad and I would go to the library on Saturdays. One day I could not find any book I had not read in the children’s section and went to the older kids area but the librarian said I was too young. Went to my Dad to complain. He took me back to the librarian and said that I had his permission to read any book I wanted and he would monitor what I was reading - and put that in writing! Bless you Dad!
