Same problem, villagers will claim workstations that should belong to another locked in villager. For example, I had 1 lectern and 2 librarians.... couldn't get the one I had not traded with to drop his profession. It would also be great if the area a villager looked for workstations was decreased to a reasonable size. Less than 20 blocks. This area is so large, it makes building near villages and using workstations in builds where you don't want the villagers linking to them impossible.

Villagers do not choose the nearest workstation in Bedrock Edition. When a villager finds a workstation (or bed or bell), it tells the village. Then the village assigns it to the next villager in a hidden list. To link villagers where you want, you need to figure out which one in the village is next in the list, and then place the workstation you want for that villager.
