Some libraries in my area are mapped as buildings (areas) and do not show up in the search.

Have you considered adding POIs for them at or near the building entrance? Some could say that my tagging style is excessive: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:amenity%3Dembassy In that example, the name:* tags could be renamed to official_name:* and a shorter set of name:* tags could be introduced, e.g., name=Russian Embassy. Some boundary relations for countries define both name:* and official_name:*. Marko
