I'm not a librarian but I voted on a tenure issue for the librarians at the University of Wisconsin and also sat on a review board which reinstated a fired librarian. At many university libraries, librarians can earn tenure, even though they mostly do not teach. Tenure is a license to tell the truth. Librarians need tenure to allow them to do their job, which, in part, is to put controversial materials on the shelves.
