Clojure nested doseq loop - loops

Question

I'm new to Clojure and I have a question regarding nested doseq loops.
I would like to iterate through a sequence and get a subsequence, and then get some keys to apply a function over all the sequence elements.
The given sequence has an structure more or less like this, but with hundreds of books, shelves and many libraries:
([:state/libraries {6 #:library {:name "MUNICIPAL LIBRARY OF X" :id 6
:shelves {3 #:shelf {:name "GREEN SHELF" :id 3 :books
{45 #:book {:id 45 :name "NECRONOMICON" :pages {...},
{89 #:book {:id 89 :name "HOLY BIBLE" :pages {...}}}}}}}}])
Here is my code:
(defn my-function [] (let [conn (d/connect (-> my-system :config :datomic-uri))]
(doseq [library-seq (read-string (slurp "given-sequence.edn"))]
(doseq [shelves-seq (val library-seq)]
(library/create-shelf conn {:id (:shelf/id (val shelves-seq))
:name (:shelf/name (val shelves-seq))})
(doseq [books-seq (:shelf/books (val shelves-seq))]
(library/create-book conn (:shelf/id (val shelves-seq)) {:id (:book/id (val books-seq))
:name (:book/name (val books-seq))})
)))))
The thing is that I want to get rid of that nested doseq mess but I don't know what would be the best approach, since in each iteration keys change. Using recur? reduce? Maybe I am thinking about this completely the wrong way?

Like Carcigenicate says in the comments, presuming that the library/... functions are only side effecting, you can just write this in a single doseq.
(defn my-function []
(let [conn (d/connect (-> my-system :config :datomic-uri))]
(doseq [library-seq (read-string (slurp "given-sequence.edn"))
shelves-seq (val library-seq)
:let [_ (library/create-shelf conn
{:id (:shelf/id (val shelves-seq))
:name (:shelf/name (val shelves-seq))})]
books-seq (:shelf/books (val shelves-seq))]
(library/create-book conn
(:shelf/id (val shelves-seq))
{:id (:book/id (val books-seq))
:name (:book/name (val books-seq))}))))
I would separate "connecting to the db" from "slurping a file" from "writing to the db" though. Together with some destructuring I'd end up with something more like:
(defn write-to-the-db [conn given-sequence]
(doseq [library-seq given-sequence
shelves-seq (val library-seq)
:let [{shelf-id :shelf/id,
shelf-name :shelf/name
books :shelf/books} (val shelves-seq)
_ (library/create-shelf conn {:id shelf-id, :name shelf-name})]
{book-id :book/id, book-name :book/name} books]
(library/create-book conn shelf-id {:id book-id, :name book-name})))
