Until the rendering tools are modified, using subtags like library=toys (the toy library near me doesn't have any games in its catalogue, only games) and library=toys_and_games will get a book icon. The rendering tools can be changed to accommodate this but, as I understand it, such changes may greatly increase the processing time to render map tiles whether or not they contain a library. It's also worth pointing out that "library" derives from a word meaning books (or chest for books). It's is incorrect to say that a toy library is like a library but for toys, it's like a LENDING library but for toys. I hate it when marketers misappropriate words, but it's far too late to do anything about it.
