In the cities I've lived in, the public library system had more than one
building.  There were several paq nojwI' qach scattered around the city.
I think paq nojwI' tum refers to that overall collection of buildings
that work together to make up the "Public Library" that most cities
have.
I think he included "public" in parentheses because I'm think a private
library would probably be just one building, and thus wouldn't need a
separate "agency".

If you said, "I'll check the Library and see if they have that" and you used your phone app or the on-line catalog, it would be the {tum} you are accessing, but not the {qach}. If you are talking about visiting the library, I don't see much difference. I also don't see how {tum} implies "public", but that's how it's glossed, so be it.
