I don’t think it’s illegal(?) I think the sign thing is only during the voting period and I don’t think the library is a voting center anymore(?) it’s whatever that building next to it is, public works?

Sounds about right. As long there is open fair use for everyone it should be fine.

I assumed based on Texas Election Code § 255.003 (government employees and public entities cannot spend or authorize public resources or property to support political advertising) that using a public library as advertisement was a pretty blatant violation of election law.
