So were Libraries of Buddhist monasteries during the Taiping Rebellion.

The New York Society for the Suppression of Vice (NYSSV) in 1873 and over the years burned 15 tons of books, 284,000 pounds of plate, and almost 4 million pictures

4.7 Tonnes Italian Nationalist literature burned by Austrian authorities in Trieste

Book burning is not an isolated historical event
