If the library or maker space machine is already dialed in and has automatic bed leveling, I'd think it'd work for most prints. The issues you were pointing out are mostly first time things, rather than issues everyone would need to do. Even if not, you can ask someone else there to help you if you're having trouble.
Some libraries will also retry prints if they don't look right, or will consult with you if it's something really weird or complex. As long as a print doesn't have really specific tolerances it should turn out fine with no additional effort, though.
