Depends on the library. Do they log your time via your library card? If
so, the authorities could find out who was using a computer with that IP
address at that certain time, and the library would have your name on
the logs.

I've been in a number of libraries across the US while traveling, to
check email. I always stated to the librarian "I'm from New York
traveling by motorcycle, and would I be able to check my email from one
of your PCs?" They've always said yes. Without showing ID.

OT: Bookstores are also good places to check your mail (no, not the
chain stores, real bookstores).
