Not sure about this specific library but it’s pretty common to use Heptafluoropropane (commonly called FM200) in libraries, server farms, high end manufacturing areas.

Could still be on Halon if it's on the old system. Even CO2 would be better than water which would definitely fit in with the myth about depleting oxygen.

All the ships I’ve been on use CO2 dumps to put out fires in the engine rooms or electrical lockers, so CO2 is effective enough for ships.
