Two different animals here.
A range extender is a good dirt simple option but it cuts your effective
throughput in half eah time you extend.
Depending on your router it may be time to upgrade, newer technologies
carry farther and penetrate further or are just more sensitive. AC networking
for example uses beam forming and directionalizing technologies to make things
more efficient and also function better.
You could also put in an access point that connects to your existing router and
is wired up say mid way between your library and router to provide another
source of signal.
Lots of ways to solve that problem.
