Move the book to the library's regular shelves and restrict it to a section for mature issues, perhaps even requiring parental permission before a child can check it out.
That would never have stopped me when I was a kid. I would just read it in the library, on the grounds that anything that grown-ups hated that much MUST be good.
And heaven forbid that the bigot's small daughter learn from penguins that there are all kinds of families besides nuclear ones, or that two penguins can, without benefit of clergy, adopt and raise a chick in a loving way. It would be dreadful if the child grew up to think of love as a good and beneficial thing, at least for penguins.
