I've actually been thinking about this recently after seeing The Canvas' video on Victor Hugo's art and just admiring how damn good it was but also how meaningful they were as his "doodles" he made amidst all the other things that were happening in his life.

I hope you also find comfort in the fact that you don't need to be just one thing and that you're not less of an artist. Your art will always be waiting for you and being a librarian might even enrich you in ways as a person that make your art even more meaningful.

For the record: I helped a librarian put together a "books you'll like if you like Diary of a Wimpy Kid" display once. I think this is the actual right approach to the problem rather than blanketly prohibiting stuff based on bad value judgements like in the image.

There has to be choice but also there's times when a kid should do something other than their 20th re-read of Diary of a Wimpy Kid (this is very very common.)
To begin with they're forced to read a choice book at times. Many will choose a "low-stakes" option instead of it even being fun for them.

Graphic novels are more legitimate than ever within schools (most of them have comics sections in the library larger than anything I could have imagined as a kid) but there's also a huge crisis in literacy and kids who will absolutely stay in their comfort zone for the wrong reasons.

I know you mean well and the tone/method is overly harsh and heavy handed in the screenshot but with all due respect, it feels like you have a blind spot for how a lot of kids actually engage with reading in schools these days.
