They are making powerful enemies, though.

No, they're merely annoying the enemies they already had.

And those enemies have other fish to fry. While the folks in charge of this decision have my admiration for standing up to typical police-state fear-mongering, the reality is that DHS is just sniping at what they hope are easy targets, and the West Lebanon PD don't have the resources (material or political) to tighten the screws.

If some dimwits with enough time on their hands get hold of this and decide to raise a stink, they might be able to put pressure on the library's public funding. But that would be local, non-official action. That's what public libraries in the US typically have to worry about - interference by the community book-burning idiots.
