Had to be open to the public?

Seems like that link specifically talks about the reservations for meeting rooms. Not sure if different rules apply for renting the entire library.

Seems like if you are reserving space during normal open hours, the room reservation should apply. That they closed early for a private event on the taxpayer’s dime is not ok. And if it’s private, they need to RENT the space.
