Interesting question. Usually a library will have workstations on a network as well (tables of computers that librabry card holders can log in to with their library cards). Those particular workstations often have certain download restrictions put on them via the servers firewall, virus system, bandwidth, etc. It is not necessarily true that a wifi hotspot provided by the same server will have those restrictions but it is possible that it does have some depending on the network administrators whim or skill level. You may have to have a library card in some situations. Just because the hotspot is broadcasting does not mean it's unrestricted at the server level even if it requires no authorization to connect, and chances are if it requires no authorization to connect it is restricted and logged.
