It is not permissible to work in a library that contains deviant books unless the general public is safeguarded from accessing them. If it is possible to provide these books to those firmly grounded in knowledge who are capable of refuting misconceptions, then it is permissible and will be rewarded. Otherwise, it is not permissible to work there for fear of corrupting the beliefs of the general public.
