Would putting age restrictions on books in library cards be the best way to protect children ?

What is the big deal with censorship in schools and public libraries? Couldn’t they just use select age restrictions and book level content ratings?
Example: Lets say Timmy wants to get a library card. Timmy is seven years old. His father helps him fill out the library card registration form which, also asks for age.
Because Timmy is only seven he receives a pink library card. Pink library cards are restricted from checking out all adult content. Pink cards are also restricted from reading anything from content level 4 – 6. However, Timmy’s father wants him to read a particular book that is under content level 4. So, the librarian has his father sign a level four access permission slip. The end!
(Or he could have just bought the book for Timmy.)
