and we’ve circled back to the missing third place – libraries as community centers, family friendly pubs and bars, coffee shops that don’t require buying half the menu to just hang out, walkable (and bikable) cities where people can go for an evening stroll without being afraid of being run over …

Libraries would need more funding to operate extended hours...
Then people would complain about gov't spending and taxes. Then we would privatize the libraries
This is why we cant have nice things

Capitalists trying to convince the public to privatize things has nothing to do with cost; even if they were free, every dollar saved by the public represents a potential profit they're losing.

“What if we took a place known for being quiet and made it loud?”
Ok, then let's make a new space called a loudbrary.
You're implying "li" means quiet and I have no choice but to believe this madness because I can't be bothered to look it up.
To be fair libraries are very active places, there are plenty of quiet spaces in most of them as well for this reason. Why can’t we accommodate everyone? We aren’t talking pumping music, just basic conversation, which already happens.
If it gets too loud, there’s always the quiet places for people that want more peace ¯(ツ)/¯
YOU may not be but I guarantee that within the first 60 minutes at least three people are going to try and do just that.
