Removing specific divs with DOM

I have made a 'remove' button appear on book- shelf div for my library project. Basically when I add a book based on user input (title,author,pages), it adds in a little card with that info on there. Using DOM I have added it by creating div with the class of CELL and just styled it via css.I know that using data-attributes can help for removing certain cards rather then all, but I cant figure out how to add it via DOM. I want to be able to add multiple books with multiple remove buttons and make it work for that particular book I want removed. Can someone direct me in the right direction for this? Here is my JavaScript code

const addBook = (ev) => {
    ev.preventDefault();
    var form = document.getElementById('myForm');
    form.style.display= 'none';
    var myLibrary = [];
    
let bookInfo = {
    title: document.getElementById('title').value,
    author: document.getElementById('author').value,
    pages: document.getElementById('pages').value,
    boxRead: document.getElementById('checkBox').value
}

myLibrary.push(bookInfo);
bookInfo += myLibrary;
for (i = 0; i < myLibrary.length; i++) {
    console.log(myLibrary[i])
    var container = document.getElementById('book-shelf')
     var div = document.createElement('div')
     var divT = document.createElement('p')
     var divA = document.createElement('p')
     var divP = document.createElement('p')
     var divRead = document.createElement('button')
     var divX = document.createElement('button')
     var checkBox = document.getElementById('checkBox')
     div.classList.add('cell')
     divRead.classList.add('readBox')
     divX.classList.add('remove-book')
     divT.classList.add('title')
     divT.innerHTML = `${title.value}`
     divA.innerHTML = `${author.value}`
     divP.innerHTML = `${pages.value}`
     divX.innerHTML = '×'
     divX.dataset.name = `${title.value}`
     div.dataset.name = `${title.value}`
     if (checkBox.checked == true) {
         divRead.innerHTML = 'Already Read'
     } else {
         divRead.innerHTML = 'Not read yet'
     }
    
     container.appendChild(div);
     div.appendChild(divT)
     div.appendChild(divA)
     div.appendChild(divP)
     div.appendChild(divRead)
     div.appendChild(divX)
}
// reset forms after submitting //
document.forms[0].reset();
localStorage.setItem('myBookList',JSON.stringify(myLibrary) );
}

function addBtn() {
    var form = document.getElementById('myForm');
    form.style.display = 'flex' ;
}
var submitBtn = document.querySelector('.submit-btn');
submitBtn.addEventListener('click',addBook)

var readBtn = document.getElementById('readBtn')

var closeBtn = document.querySelector('.x');
closeBtn.addEventListener('click', (event)=> {
    event.preventDefault();
    var form = document.getElementById('myForm')
    form.style.display = 'none';
})
