Removing the books from the library is just the same as burning them. It's removing ideas and thought unapproved by the government. Therefore my analogy is on point.
As stated, Mein Kampf is still available. Why the difference?

Maybe they are going to move the 6 Dr Seuss books from the library's child books section to the adult books section. Maybe a person who wants to borrow any of these books will have to sign a little piece of paper that says "The book you are borrowing includes racial stereotypes that Chicago public schools have determined to be inappropriate for children." Maybe the librarian is supposed to have a look at the person who is borrowing any of these books to see if they look old enough to be in high school.
It's not "book burning."
At least not yet, pending on what the "longer-term solution" turns out to be.
Calling it "book burning" is debasing the currency of the English language--just as the profligate and overridingly indiscriminate references to "Leftists" (etc.) that have long emanated from one particular Pennock's user account undermines any logic or reality and similarly debases the currency of the English language, as evidenced here:

Debasing the currency of the English language ? Like "the affordable care act", our new 1.9 trillion dollar "Kung Flu relief act which only 9% is for the Kung Flu, ... the list is long.

OK, now you’re dancing on quicksand. What about* the use, by leftist book burners, of such terms as terrorist and insurrection, or the wholesale production of such imaginary words as “homophobic” or “cisgender”? Much like the whining of the “woke”, it goes on forever.
* What about

Did you go to school ?
Banning propaganda from schools is not banning books.

'Ya know, ... the 'woke foke' may have screwed up cancelling PePe LePew.
They canceled the only gay cartoon figure in history. He was enamored by Sylvester the Cat, not Sylvia the Cat.

There's an ethos here, about some of these Pennock's messages, that this is like an Executive Order from President Biden, or an edict from Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi or AOC. That the U.S. Department of Education or Health and Human Services has proclaimed that all of the existing copies of these books must be turned over to the government to be burned.
It's nothing of the sort.

We're digital now, don't need books.

There was an episode where Sylvester got paint spilled on his back giving him a skunk stripe. This apparently excited the sexually confused Pepe.
I suppose the woke should cancel Sylvester for refusing Pepe's advances. Sylvester is overtly homophobic, probably a Trump supporter.
