I had started writing my response, then re-read your post. First, I was thinking the internet cafe was actually using the library's wireless for its customers.
Your analogy depends upon the agreement the card holders signed when getting their library cards. If the library wants to restrict such access, it's up to them to either a) put such restrictions in their library card agreements, or b) limit the distance their routers project the signal.
