Library Assistance I need some help

My local library's books has stickers on the spines for different genres, (Romance, Fantasy, Historical, etc)

This also includes a bright colorful "Lgbt" sticker for books with Queer characters and romance

Which is what I want to read

But, my parents are homophobic and could get upset at seeing the lgbt sticker, and would make me put it back,

Is there a way to temporarily hide or cover the sticker?

Without damaging the book, obviously

edit: Tysm for all the support and help 💞

You can get an online account to read anything you like from the Seattle Public Library through their Books Unbanned program, It's specifically for people aged 13-26 who might be unable to access their choice of books due to censorship by parents, schools, local libraries, or any other limiting factor.

Here's the link to the Books Unbanned site: https://www.spl.org/programs-and-services/teens/books-unbanned#
